    In this letter, we investigate a class of novel platform-tolerant chipless RFID tags composed of an array of variable-length notched microstrip line resonators backed by a metallic backscatterer. A 60 × 80 mm2 proof-of-concept tag is presented using sub-band frequency shift coding (SB-FSC) with N = 13 elements, each representing M = 10 digits (0-9) demonstrating an EAN/GTIN 13 encoding providing a total of N × log2M = 43 bits/tag. A pair of microstrip resonators serves as a frequency reference. The tag operates in the frequency range from 1.4 to 4.2 GHz with an encoding density 36.7 bits/λ2/GHz at the center frequency. The concept thus demonstrates the integration of chipless RFID technology and GS1 standards in an IoT paradigm.

    Harmonic transponders are passive wireless devices that hold great promise for a variety of long-term tracking and sensing applications. These nonlinear devices receive an interrogation signal at one frequency (f) and backscatter harmonics (typically, 2f is of interest). The device’s conversion loss is the change in power from what is received and what is transmitted. We show herein that conversion loss is dependent jointly on interrogation power, interrogation frequency, and interrogation angle. This coupled nature of the device’s behavior necessitates performance metrics that capture these characteristics. We present a methodology to generically test these devices and propose metrics that capture the noted dependencies.

    The paper presents a novel design of a compact wearable harmonic transponder with double-plane symmetry, composed of a dual-band patch-type antenna loaded by an HSMS-2820 Schottky diode, operated as a proof-of-concept at ISM UHF 869 MHz and 1 734 MHz frequencies. The antenna is analyzed and optimized for a minimum ground plate size by means of the CST Microwave Studio electromagnetic simulator, and its reflection coefficient is incorporated into the equivalent circuit model for a combined harmonic balance and full-wave analysis using the AWR Microwave Office commercial simulator. The transponder performance, including the complex input impedance matching and conversion loss (CL) between the fundamental and second harmonic frequencies on the diode, was evaluated both in free space and when attached to a human muscle phantom. The total harmonic transponder CL, including diode CL, antenna transponder gains, and impedance mismatching, is 6.2 dB for an excitation power of −25 dBm at the antenna–diode interface. The measured reading distances are 9.0 m and 8.8 m for EIRP = 20 dBm when the transponder is placed in free space and on the human body, respectively. As a means of machine-to-person communication, the transponder is suitable for Internet-of-Things concept, e.g., for the identification of pedestrians in traffic, i.e., in a complex environment with unwanted radiation clutter and multipath fading.

  • Anotace:
    A novel uniplanar chipless RFID solvent vapors/gas sensor is proposed in this paper. The sensor etched on an extremely thin capton substrate is composed of the folded dipole resonator loaded by the interdigital capacitor located inside the planar rectangular metallic loop that improves the RCS response. When illuminated by a plane wave, the folded dipole causes a notch in the RCS response of the loop located near its resonant frequency. The high RCS level (-18 dBsm), together with the notch depth (16 dB) assure a reliable detection of its position within the frequency dependence of RCS curve. In order to enhance the structure sensitivity to the presence of acetone vapors, the tetrasulfonated copper phthalocyanine thin film was applied as a sensitive layer during the process of folded dipole metallization. The experimental verification confirmed the viability of sensor proof-of-concept for the detection of chemical vapors.

    In this paper, we first carry out an in-depth review of the performance parameters of frequency domain chipless RFID transponders in terms of their spatial density, spectral capacity, and comprehensive encoding capacity (bit/lambda2/GHz) comprising both spatial and spectral performance, and platform tolerance. Secondly, we theoretically and numerically investigate the recently introduced and promising concept of the platform-tolerant chipless RFID transponder based on a detuned dipole array-plate that provides high encoding capacity. We propose, fabricate and measure a 20-bit transponder consisting of an array of 20 detuned dipoles closely coupled to a 60 × 60 mm2 metallic plate. The radar cross section at the level of 15 dBsm exhibits reliably recognizable minima corresponding to individual dipole resonances. When compared to other published frequency-domain chipless RFID transponders, the encoding capacity reaches 47.4 bit/lambda2/GHz, which constitutes one of the highest values, while achieving a concurrently high level of radar cross section (RCS) reflection response and platform tolerance performance. The measurements confirm very good performance parameters in the cases when the transponder is attached to various packaging materials, such as cardboard, plastic, wood, metal or a human body phantom. The essential benefits of the presented solution include a very good frequency and amplitude stability in the RCS response, which enables a reliable reading of encoded information (if zero bits are coded). The double layer metallization represents an inherent property of the proposed solution, which is a necessary trade-off for high encoding capacity and contemporary platform tolerance.

    This paper reviews investigations of the authors in the field of frequency-domain chipless RFID transponders. The main issue is to reduce the mutual coupling between adjacent resonant elements in the scatterer array to ensure the robust RCS response for reliable reading of coded information. A major improvement in RCS response of transponders is proposed, using slot-in-plate type transponders. Advantages and drawbacks of the proposed solutions are discussed and several open challenges in the field are emphasized.

  • Anotace:
    The paper investigates the influence of mutual coupling between individual scatterings of chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags based on its frequency-domain performance using a simplified equivalent circuit model. The proposed steady state analysis predicts a fast and satisfactory amplitude level and frequency position of resonant peaks of a predicted radar cross section (RCS) response. The proposed approach is capable of pre-evaluating a suitability of the particular scattered topology for implementing in chipless RFID tags. It is demonstrated on two different geometries.

  • Anotace:
    The paper deals with the novel polarisation independent 20-bit chipless RFID transponder that is based on a circularly arranged array of electrically small dual-spiral capacitively-loaded dipole scatterers with improved robustness of RCS response. A single scatterer exhibits a better performance in terms of electrical size and radar cross section (RCS) than the earlier introduced U-dipole type scatterers occupying the same footprint area. In order to investigate the frequency stability and amplitude uniformity of RCS curve, two arrangements of scatterer arrays were analyzed: rearranged side-by-side and circular. In comparison to the other arrangements, the latter provides an excellent amplitude RCS stability over the whole operational frequency band and, at the same time enables the polarization independence of identification. However, it requires the two-channel orthogonal polarization measurement.

    This paper deals with the investigation of space diversity techniques for elimination of signal fading and consequently extension of coverage area in applications of RF identification of shadowed people in a building corridor. Several measurement scenarios were evaluated. They comprised up to four wearable tags placed at different positions on a human body with one or two reader antennas, including shadowing by a small crowd of people. It was shown that the achieved corresponding SIMO mode diversity gain accounted for ca. 1 dB at the overall improvement in the trace coverage amounted to ca. 5%. On the other hand, the MIMO mode diversity configuration brought an improvement of up to 10% and enabled to cover more than 50% of the identification area, including the scenario where shadowing by a small crowd of people was present.

  • Anotace:
    The paper presents the novel 20-bit chipless RFID transponder (tag) based on spiral capacitively loaded dipole scatterers of electrical size ka = 0.47, radar cross section σ = 29.3 dBsm, and bandwidth BW3dB = 20.9 MHz. It outperforms U-folded dipole scatterer (ka = 0.79, σ = 34.3 dBsm, BW3dB = 18.1 MHz) in the first two parameters in exchange for a slight increase in bandwidth. The total tag size (17 × 68 mm2) is roughly half the size of a credit card. The frequency and amplitude stability of its RCS response, when the zero bit information is coded via removal of individual scatterers, is improved by reordering scatterers in the array. The simulated results were verified by the monostatic measurement of tag RCS.

  • Anotace:
    This paper describes properties of a new 20-bit chipless RFID tag of the size 52 × 50 mm2, which exhibits an improved magnitude and robustness of the radar cross section (RCS). The tag is based on a novel slots-in-plate array approach, which is complementary to a typical tag consisting of an array of single resonators. In order to eliminate the detuning effect of the missing or shortening slots representing ‘0’ bit information on the resonances of neighbouring slots signifying ‘1’ bit information, the modification of the inter-element arrangement was proposed. Both ways of ‘0’ bit information coding were studied and compared.

    A chipless RFID tag designed as detuned dipole array backed by rectangular plate is proposed. Its main feature is frequency notched RCS response which provides high read range of the tag. Information encoding ability was investigated on three example bit words. It has been found that proposed structure exhibits narrow resonances with higher bit density than other presented structures and thus seems to be a good candidate for compact high density chipless RFID tags. Performance parameters of the structure has been evaluated by EM simulator Zeland IE3D and verified by monostatic measurement in an anechoic chamber.

Erroneous Reading of Information in Chipless RFID Tags

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    Chipless RFID tags are designed as arrays of planar or uniplanar resonators. These tags should be as small as possible to increase their attraction. On the other hand the closer are particular resonators located the tighter is their coupling. This coupling prevents the reader from proper reading the coded information. This is due to detuning of particular resonant frequencies of resonators and due to changing levels of the resonant peaks. Finally some compromise must be done in the tag design. For error-less reading of information coded by the presence/absence of resonant peaks in the RCS response the proper choice of scatterer topology and their arrangement has significant importance. Simple and efficient way of checking the suitability of particular resonators is presented.

  • Odkaz: https://doi.org/10.1109/MIKON.2016.7491983
  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    This paper presents two ways to reduce the mutual coupling between the resonators of the RFID chipless tags. This reduction significantly improves the uniformity of the RCS response of the tag over the operational frequency range from 2 to 4 GHz. The first modification to the tag layout is based on an inter-element rearrangement of the array elements. The second layout modification is based on narrowing the strip width and tapering the longitudinal dipole arms toward the open end. Significantly improved homogeneity of the RCS response in comparison with the original array of folded dipole scatterers was confirmed by simulation and by measurements of 20-bit chipless RFID transponders. The second modification further improves the frequency resolution, which may consequently provide higher encoding capacity in a unit area, but at the expense of a decreased RCS response.

Technologie RFID přináší v posledních letech vyšší úroveň automatizace, která se uplatňuje především v logistice, průmyslu a maloobchodu. Využití však nachází také v medicíně, v knihovnictví a při inventarizaci majetku obecně. Další rozšíření RFID (zejména pro náhradu čárových kódů) závisí na tom, zda se podaří tuto technologii dále zlevnit. Jako řešení tohoto problému se nabízí odstranění nejnákladnější části identifikačního štítku (tagu), kterou je polovodičový čip. Tento příspěvek přináší přehled různých bezčipových řešení.

    In this study, the authors proposed the impedance-flexible on-body semi-electrically-small tag antenna for the European ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) frequency band. The radiator is based on differentially-fed coupled shorted-patches and vertical folding techniques, using a loop excitation. The proposed excitation methods enable the input impedance to be tuned to the complex impedance of typical UHF RFID chips as well as to 50 Ω impedance. In addition, the virtual electric short applied inside the structure simplifies the topology and manufacture. The antenna dimensions are 40 × 50 × 3 mm3 (0.12 × 0.14 × 0.01 λ 0) and represent the electrical size ka = 0.58 at 866 MHz. The total efficiency measured in open space exceeds 60%. In case that the antenna is situated on a human phantom, it accounts for 50%. Accordingly, the antenna provides the read range of 5.6 m (in open space) and 5.1 m (when located on human chest).

    The paper introduces a novel impedance matching technique for extremely low-profile on-body UHF RFID tag antennas based on coupled shorted-patch antennas. The approach employs a novel arrangement of comb-notches perpendicular to the central radiation slot that excites the close higher order mode that affects the field distribution of the fundamental mode and sets the input impedance to the required complex values of UHF RFID chips over the range of 5 to 50 for the real part and 100 to 200 for the imaginary part, or directly to 50 impedance. A set of parametric studies shows the flexibility of the proposed technique for achieving complex input impedances. To verify the proposed technique, we have developed and measured two antenna samples of relative size 0.3 × 0.17 × 0.0022 λ0. A first antenna is matched to 50 , and is intended to be used as an on-body antenna sensor for mapping the received signal strength in applications of the European UHF RFID band. The second antenna operates as an RFID tag antenna with input impedance Zin = 22 + j195, and reaches a read range of 7.3 m.

    This paper introduces a new 20-bit chipless RFID tag with an improved radar cross section (RCS), based on a novel complementary approach with the slot-in-plate array with respect to the array of single resonator-based chipless tags. The backscatter pattern is formed by a rectangular metallic plate 52 × 50 mm2 in size etched on a thin dielectric substrate in which an array of 20 shorted coplanar slots is introduced. The originally monotonous RCS frequency response of the rectangular plate exhibits dips corresponding to the presence of individual slots, and thus enables binary coding using amplitude shift keying. The tag has been measured in a bi-static arrangement with two double-ridge horn antennas, and provides a significantly improved overall RCS response compared to an array of resonator-based chipless tags. We also propose two modifications to the inter-arrangement of the slots in order to eliminate the detuning effect of the missing slot representing ‘0’ bit information on the resonances of neighboring slots representing ‘1’ bit information.

    The paper investigates performance properties of arrays of several different C-shaped folded dipole scatterers that are intended to be used as building units (coding particles) for spectral signature based chipless RFID tags. Frequency resolution and uniformity of radar cross section (RCS) response of single scatterers, its triplets and 10-element arrays are investigated. It is found that array of tapered-arms C shaped folded dipole scatterers provides significantly better uniformity of RCS response of the tag and better frequency resolution than the arrays of C-shaped folded dipoles with parallel arms however at the expense of RCS reduction.

Influence of Mutual Coupling on Performance of Small Scatterers for Chipless RFID Tags

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    The paper introduces the two new size-reduced planar scatterers for chipless RFID and explores the influence of mutual coupling of two-element array on their performance. Radar cross section (RCS), and resonant frequency has been evaluated by EM simulation and from S-parameters measured when scatterers have been placed in parallel-plate waveguide. The results clearly show the trade-off between size reduction and RCS proportional to read range of the proposed configurations. Closely spaced resonators are strongly coupled which negatively affects uniformity of their RCS response. Simple geometrical modification of scatterer layout that reduces such unwanted effect is proposed. This results in the development of new smaller uniplanar chipless tags with higher information density.

    This paper introduces a small-size, low-profile wearable radiator based on the coupled patches and vertically folded patches techniques for application as a tag antenna for identification of people in the European UHF RFID band. The electric field distribution comes out dominantly from the central coupling slot, and thus the electric properties of the radiator are almost unaffected by the human body to which the antenna is intended to be attached. Accordingly, with the relative size 0.14 × 0.12 × 0.009 λ0 at 866 MHz (50 × 40 × 3.04 mm3), the antenna exhibits total efficiency better than 50 %, even if it is attached directly to a person.

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    The investigation and design of a leaky wave antenna is presented in this paper. The antenna has a planar structure composed of a substrate integrated waveguide. This waveguide is designed as a composite right/left-handed transmission line operating in two balanced frequency bands spanned from approx. 8.6 up to 9.5 GHz and from 15 up to 19 GHz with closed gaps between the left- and right-handed regions. The novelty of the structure lies in its dual band operation and the applied SIW technology. An effective way of determining the complex dispersion characteristics of the antenna is presented, and an equivalent circuit of a line unit cell is derived. The antenna was fabricated and the measured characteristics are in good agreement with those predicted by the simulation. The advantage of the antenna lies in its planar structure, which is suitable for cheap mass production.

    Closed-form expression for mutual impedance of not-too-closely spaced short dipoles with constant current distribution is derived analytically using definition integral relation based on a method of electromotive forces (EMF) and approximation of sine and cosine functions by two or three terms of Taylor series expansion.

    The present paper is targeted at investigation of electrically small planar antennas, formed by double- and triplesplit rings that are intended to serve as tag antennas operated within the European UHF RFID band. An extensive systematic study of possible geometrical configurations demonstrates the range of their achievable input impedances (complex conjugate to typical UHF RFID integrated circuits) in case that both structures electrically decrease below the limit for electrically small antennas, i.e. ka < 0.5. The advantage of triple split ring version over the standard double split ring one consists in reduction in its electrical size and concurrent maintenance of the required range of input impedances and high radiation efficiency. Samples of both structures were manufactured, measured and their electrical properties critically compared.

    The paper presents a novel wearable antenna composed of two coupled patches excited by an overlapping folded dipole. In spite of being operated in a relatively low frequency band 380 ÷ 390 MHz, the antenna shows a very low profile and other dimensions are acceptable as well. Besides a very low absorption of the radiated RF power by any nearby human body, it also ensures a very good immunity against influence on antenna parameters. In comparison to commonly used simple conformal monopole antennas, the presented solution provides a double-side radiation pattern and a substantially higher gain. The antenna can be manufactured using very light and twistable foam dielectric and conductive fabric, and can be worn as a strap placed over the shoulder. It is intended to be used together with personal radio communication transceivers operated in the given frequency band.

    The paper introduces the two new size-reduced unit cells/scatterers in the form of uniplanar resonators for application in frequency spectrum-based uniplanar chipless RFID tags. They are derived from U-folded dipole loaded by either meander line inductor or interdigital capacitor. Radar cross section, and resonant frequency has been evaluated by EM simulation and S-parameters have been measured and calculated when scatterers have been placed in parallel-plate waveguide. The results clearly show the trade-off between size-reduction and radar cross section proportional to read range of the proposed configurations. Their potential lies in the development of new smaller uniplanar chipless tags with higher information density.

    This paper presents a study about the radiation problem of coaxial-to-microstrip launchers and suggests their improvement with a novel design. The proposed solution is based on a coaxial-to-microstrip transition enclosed in a parallel-plate transmission line that has its cutoff frequency above the working frequency band of interest. Any radiated field is quickly attenuated because it is propagating inside a subcritical parallel-plate transmission line. The proposed method is extensively analyzed in the CST Microwave Studio and simulation results are verified on fabricated test-fixture by multiple measurements. The proposed solution improves the accuracy and reduces the uncertainty during measurements on microstrip.

The diameter of the antenna base is λ 0/10, and the monopole height is λ 0/20. EM simulation and analysis of radiation resistance as a function of number of monopoles is performed. It is shown that factor N2 appropriately takes into account increase of input resistance of parallel short monopoles even for their λ 0/10 distance. A prototype has been designed for frequency 3 GHz with ground plane size 1.4 × 1.4 λ 0 and provides relative bandwidth of 0.83 %, and measured efficiency of 81.7 %. Proposed structure is simple, and might be completely produced in single layer microstrip technology with linear vertical vias, potencially with additional air substrate layer to improve bandwidth as we present here.

    In this paper, we derive an analytical expression for the mutual resistance of two electrically short not-too-closely spaced dipoles with uniform current distribution based on an induced electromotive forces method. We go on to apply the relations for folded dipoles for an investigation of the input resistance of a short multi-element dipole arrangement. It is shown that the factor ranging from N^1.77 to N^1.97 takes into account the increase in input resistance arising from the mutual coupling of N = {2, 3, 4} dipoles when they are spaced within the range from λ0/20 to λ0/5. Thus, even a larger distance between the dipoles than λ0/20, which is usually considered if the term N2 is used, still leads to a significant improvement in radiation resistance. To verify the proposed concept, we compared the results provided by the EM simulation and by measurements on the prototype of an electrically small, winding-connected three-element monopole antenna, which occupies a cylindrical geometry with the diameter of the base equal to λ0/10 and the monopole height equal to λ0/20. The measured bandwidth for VSWR = 2 corresponds to the quality factor, which is only 2.2 higher than the principal Gustafsson bound for cylindrical geometry with vertical polarization.

For preliminary design of ZOR antennas equivalent models for input impedance calculations has been introduced by several authors [2,3]. However, none of them has considered all components really presented in the model and their proper distribution. Except of right/left handed inductive and capacitive components radiation resistance, radiation losses and mutual inductance of shunt inductors have to be properly taken into account. Their proper location in the equivalent model is the substantial factor for achievement of good agreement of simulated and measured results of input impedance

    Two approaches, Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) and graphic library OpenGL, are used for active stereoscopic vision of electromagnetic fields surrounding selected antenna or microwave elements. Input data are generated by analytical relations or acquired by electromagnetic field simulators and visualized in the form of vector fields and field lines by active stereoscopy. In case of VRML freeware Quadroview and GeForce 3D Vision package from nVidia is used to acquire stereoscopic vision. In case of OpenGL implementation own stereo browser StereoEMview has been developed. Both approaches require a little bit different initial sources, knowledge of implementation tools and solution procedures. However resulting output is the same. Thus authors can choose which implementation is more suitable for their nature and available sources.

Active UHF Antennas for Demanding RFID Applications

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    One of possible applications of RFID systems concerns identification of goods equipped with TAGs, densely and randomly accommodated in a larger space. This refers e.g. to the identification of many TAGs fixed on clothes in large cartoon boxes. The TAGs can be located very close to each other, mutually coupled, screened, randomly oriented and placed in an environment with a wide range of wave propagation parameters. The presented paper describes one of the possible solutions. The designed identification system is equipped with active reader antennas that enable the illumination and the read-out of the TAGs from many different locations as well as angles, and with a wide range of illuminating power. According to preliminary measurements, such conditions conduce to 100% correct and reliable identification. The designed RFID system is very likely to be able to work well even in more demanding identification tasks.

    In this study, a novel miniaturized microstrip patch antenna based on meander-folded, shorted-patch (SP) structure is introduced. The technique enables a decrease of the original quarter-wavelength patch length approximately by the factor 1/N, where N is the number of the vertically placed patch plates above the ground plane. The antenna operational principle is explained with the help of E-field distribution and can be interpreted as SP with vertically meander-folded cavity.

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    The anti-armour missiles represent one of the biggest threads for any military vehicle, both in a standard combat or e.g. during UN humanitarian as well as peacekeeping operations. Millions of extremely dangerous missiles, able to break-through even tank armour-plates, are widely spread even in the world's most dangerous hot spots and geostrategic areas. Standard lighter vehicles and helicopters alike do not have, by themselves, any chance against them. As a result, the possibly more efficient methods of defense against them are under scrutiny and are subject to a continuous development. Active defense methods are based on a detection of the thread missiles and activation of an efficient counter-measure. The presented paper describes parameters of two most dangerous missiles and calculates parameters decisive for their detection in microwave frequency range. The practical measurements verify and confirm the calculated detection parameters.

Microwave Antennas and Circuits Modeling Using Electromagnetic Field Simulator

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    Electromagnetic (EM) field simulators have become widely used tool in a design process of microwave circuits and systems. Proper usage of the EM field simulators allows substantial reduction of the design time providing reliable results. In such case the required parameters of the designed circuit can be reached even at the first manufactured prototype in spite of high complexity of the structure. However, EM simulation as a numerical process suffers from systematic and random errors similar to measurement using real equipment. Thus the setting of the EM-field simulator such as frequency range, mesh properties, usage of PEC and PMC walls etc. has to be done with the highest attention and the simulation results have to be always verified using well-established techniques. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the selected capability of EM-field simulators with a few examples of antenna and circuit modeling. Also an issue of reliability and simulation errors will be discussed.

Synthesis of Dualband Broadside Radiated Microstrip Patch Antenna Operating with TM10 and TM21 Modes

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    Novel concept for the synthesis of linearly polarized broadside radiated dualbad microstrip patch antenna has been used. Presented novel approach uses basic and suitable higher modes of patch resonator that are modified by appropriate patch surface perturbation so that outbalancing current component in the direction of demanded polarization is dominant at bot design frequencies. This concept is differenct than standard approach that use additional passive resonators in the same metal level as feeded patch or in other layers in so called stacked arrangement of another frequently used concept that modify patch by introducing suitably shaped perturbing elements such as slots and nothes. These snadard approaches has common feature namely that additional basic modes or basic resonances of parasitic parts are excited. Proposed novel approach has been verified on model of dualband 3.5/5.5 GHz microstrip patch antenna.

Electrically Small Spiral Transmission Line-Connected Triple-Arm Folded Monopole Antenna

  • Pracoviště: Katedra elektromagnetického pole
  • Anotace:
    We proposed electrically small spiral transmission line-connected triple-arm monopole antenna of cylindrical geometry with circumscribing sphere of the electrical length ka = 0.44. The diameter of the antenna base is λ0/10, and the monopole height is λ 0/20. EM simulation and analysis of radiation resistance as a function of number of monopoles is performed. It is shown that factor N2 appropriately takes into account increase of input resistance of parallel short monopoles even for their λ0/10 distance. A prototype has been designed for frequency 3 GHz with ground plane size 1.4 × 1.4 λ0 and provides relative bandwidth of 0.83 %, and measured efficiency of 81.7 %. Proposed structure is simple, and might be completely produced in single layer microstrip technology with linear vertical vias, potencially with additional air substrate layer to improve bandwidth as we present here.
