Abstract

See full text

Microstrip patch antenna (46), feed structure (48), and matching circuit (50) designs for an RFID tag (10) are disclosed. A balanced feed design using balanced feeds coupled by a shorting stub (56) creates a virtual short between the two feeds so as to eliminate the need for physically connecting the substrate to the ground plane. A dual feed structure design uses a four-terminal IC connected to two antennas (46a,46b) resonating at different frequencies to provide directional and polarization diversity. A combined near-field/far-field design using a microstrip antenna provides electromagnetic coupling for far-field operation, and a looping matching circuit provides inductive coupling for near-field operation. A dual-antenna design uses first and second microstrip antennas providing directional diversity when affixed to a cylindrical or conical object, and a protective superstrate (66) is applied. An annular antenna (46c) design for application to the top of a metal cylinder around a stem is disclosed.
