摘要:A low profile, rectangular E-shaped microstrip patch antenna is designed and proposed for radio-frequency identification (RFID) based intelligent transportation system (ITS) in this paper. The proposed antenna design aims to achieve high gain and low return loss at 0.96 GHz as it is suitable for ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID tags. The proposed antenna composed of a radiating patch on one side of the dielectric substrate and the ground plane on the other side, copper is used to produce the main radiator. The simulation of the proposed antenna is performed employing the high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS). The dielectric substrate used for the suggested antenna is an FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3 and height 1.5 mm. The performance of the proposed antenna is measured in terms of gain, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), radiation pattern and the bandwidth. The antenna gain and the return loss of the suggested antenna at 0.96 GHz are 7.3 dB and -12.43 dB, respectively.
