Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is soliciting original contributions that address major challenges in the theory and design techniques of multiple element antennas. Multi-antenna systems, which can be composed of fed or parasitic elements, make a wide variety of functions possible, including electronic scanning, wideband or multiband behaviors, multistandard operation, etc. However, most of these applications lead to integration and radio constraints, for example, the coupling between radiating elements or isolation between antenna ports as well as limits on radiation efficiency, particularly in the context of highly constrained volumes.

We look forward to reading the latest research results but also invite review articles that suggest theories and practical solutions for the design and optimization of multi-antenna systems.

Authors are encouraged to submit contributions in any of the following or related areas for multiple element antennas:

  • Bandwidth enhancement;
  • Multiband behavior;
  • Electronic scanning and radiation pattern control;
  • Realization techniques;
  • Modeling

This paper presents a new analog design for a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna with a long-read range oriented to localization applications. The actual work focuses on the analog input characterization of antenna impedance by studying the capacitive effect, created by the gaps, and the effect of the introduced opened circuited L-shaped stubs, on the RFID tag characteristics. Numerical and measured results confirm that proposed tag antenna performances are significantly improved by introducing gaps and stub structures and after optimizing their dimensions, such as length and width. The introduced stubs with optimum dimensions provide good impedance matching, and improved return loss values. Furthermore, two operating frequency bands have been created when the antenna is excited by a 50 Ω port: a low-frequency band around 837 MHz and a higher one around 927 MHz. These results have been validated by measured ones. The proposed RFID antenna is mainly composed of three split rectangular resonators (SRR) where introduced structures concern only the larger SRR. The optimized antenna has an area of 76 × 24.6 mm2 and is printed on the Taconic RF-60A substrate with a dielectric constant of 6.12, a thickness of 1.6 mm, and a loss tangent of 0.025. Simulation results show interesting communication performances, of the proposed tag antenna, with a return loss of −22.3 dB around 916 MHz and a long-read range up to 25 m when it is fed by an industrial Mping M730 chip with a power sensitivity of −24 dB and an output impedance Zchip = 16 − j194 (Ω) at 916 MHz Full article
