Abstract
A circularly polarized (CP) stacked antenna for the long range reader of a RFID is studied. The proposed CP antenna using stacked patch technique with a high‐impedance ground plane exhibits fairly good performances of 30 MHz bandwidth for 3 dB axial ratio, 70 MHz bandwidth referred to 10 dB return loss at the center frequency of 915 MHz. The gain of the designed antenna is more than 7 dBi over 902–928 MHz and 922–928 MHz and the reading range of the reader reaches 5.5 m. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
