New dipole slot antenna design for RFID communications

New design of a dipole antenna with H-shaped slot at two operating bands for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is presented. By using an H-shaped slot over a rectangular patch at the middle associated with four T-shaped slot, the proposed antenna has a wide and dual measured return loss bandwidth. Besides, the omnidirectional radiation pattern of the antenna cover the entire frequency range including Ultra High Frequency (UHF, 915MHz) and microwaves (2.45GHz) bands has been obtained. Tuning techniques of the design parameters are proposed, and tag performance in both frequency bands is evaluated numerically an experimentally in detail.
