Dual-band dipole antenna for 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz RFID tag application

Abstract

In this paper, a dual-band dipole antenna for passive radio frequency identification (RFID) tag application at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz is designed and optimized using HFSS 13. The proposed antenna is composed of a bent microstrip patch and a coupled rectangular microstrip patch. The optimal results of this antenna are obtained by sweeping antenna parameters. Its return losses reach to −18.7732 dB and −18.2514 dB at 2.45 GHz and 5.8 GHz, respectively. The bandwidths (Return loss
