CPW-fed Bow-tie slot antenna/AMC combination for dual-band applications on metallic objects

摘要

A novel CPW-fed Bow-tie slot antenna/Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) combination for dual-band applications on metallic objects is presented. The characterization results for the manufactured prototypes in terms of return loss, gain and radiation pattern measurements in an anechoic chamber, both alone and on a metallic plate are shown. The presented compact and low-profile design exhibits proper performance to be integrated in RFID tags
