The invention discloses an ultra-
high frequency (UHF)
radio frequency identification (RFID) reader-writer antenna. The UHF RFID reader-writer antenna consists of an upper
metal material conductive layer, a lower
metal material conductive layer and an insulating material medium layer positioned between the upper
metal material conductive layer and the lower metal material conductive layer, wherein a lower bottom plate is a rectangular pure
copper plate; the upper layer is a traveling wave-shaped antenna formed by a pure
copper feeder line which is laid on the upper surface of the insulating material medium layer; in order to cover all polarization directions and fully cover the area of the overall antenna, the traveling
wave shape of the antenna is required to be not less than a period; moreover, the leftmost side of the antenna is connected with a feed power supply; the
tail end of the rightmost side of the antenna is connected with the lower bottom plate through a matching
resistor; and the width of the
feed line of the antenna and the resistance of the matching
resistor both depend on the structural shape of the overall antenna: namely the lengths, the widths and the thicknesses of the upper conductive layer, the lower conductive layer and the intermediate insulating material medium layer, and the
dielectric coefficient of the medium material. The antenna has large coverage and long
reading distance; and a plurality of tags can also be read effectively when passing through at a high speed. Moreover, the structure is simple; and the project is easy to implement and low in cost.
