Abstrakt: In this paper, a 1Ã--4 microstrip array antenna for 2.45 GHz Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader application is proposed. The proposed antenna array configuration consists of slotted radiating patch elements and defected ground plane structure. The patch elements are excited through the corporate feed network. The proposed array configuration is designed using an FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6 mm. The simulation results are verified through the measurement process to confirm the validity of the design concept which shows good agreement with the simulated results. The measured data shows that the proposed array resonates at 2.45 GHz with 95MHz bandwidth and offers a peak gain of about 7.75 dBi. The proposed array finds suitable applications in indoor positioning systems as RFID reader antenna. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
