Abstract

In this paper, we propose a mobile Radio Frequency Identification antenna for mobile hand set. The proposed antenna with directive radiation characteristics based on combination of electric-magnetic radiators can be installed in the mobile hand-set. The combination of PIFA antenna for electric radiator and loop antenna for magnetic radiator is presented and designed for료 m-RFID reader system. Target frequency band is 900-MHz band. and desired gain is 4dBi. The antenna is simulated using Ansoft HFSS software and shows expected results. The antenna is also manufactured using FR4-epoxy circuit board (h=1 mm, $\varepsilon_{\tau}=4.4$). There are good agreements between the simulated and measured VSWR curves and radiation characteristics.

본 논문에서는 휴대용 단말기 적용이 가능한 mobile Radio Frequency Identification (m-RFID) system 을 위한 안테나의 설계 방법을 제안했다. 전기계 안테나와 자기계 안테나의 결합을 통하여 안테나의 휴대 단말 장착시 m-RFID 적용 방향으로 안테나의 패턴이 지향성의 특징을 나타낸다. 전기계 안테나는 PIFA 구조의 안테나를 사용하였으며, 자기계 안테나는 loop 형 안테나를 구현하였다. 목표 주파수 대역은 900 MHz 대역이며, 목표 이득은 4dBi 이상으로 설계 되었다. Ansoft 사의 HFSS 를 사용하여 시뮬레이션하였으며, 목표치 이상의 결과를 보였다. 제작된 안테나는 FR4 epoxy 기판 (h=1 mm, $\varepsilon_{\tau}=4.4$) 을 사용하여 제작되었으며, 시뮬레이션과 유사한 결과를 보였다.
