摘要:Abstract: A tunable circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna based on ferrite substrate is discussed in this paper, for universal ultra-high-frequency (UHF) RF identification (RFID) applications. Such antenna is composed of top dielectric layer printed with rectangular radiation patch, middle ferrite layer, and bottom dielectric layer printed with ground plane. The ferrite layer under an applied dc magnetic bias provides the CP radiation characteristic. Most importantly, ferrite layer can tune arbitrarily the operating frequency band in a wide range covering all the worldwide operating frequency bands of UHF RFID, by adjusting the dc magnetic bias. Theoretical analysis on the reason to realize CP properties without perturbation for the radiation patch and the tunability of operating frequency are firstly presented. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed antenna, can be arbitrarily operated from 840 to 960 MHz with a narrow impedance bandwidth of about 7 MHz, a tunable gain level ranged from −1.9 to 2.5 dBic, and a wide 3-dB AR beamwidth of 120˚ over the impedance bandwidth.
