Summary :

A new scheme to avoid null zone for HF-band RFID without expanding antenna size is proposed. At first, we demonstrate by FDTD simulation that the null zone occurs because of cancellation of magnetic fields over the loop surface. To prevent cancellation of magnetic fields, the loop antenna is split into four parts, which work as a planar array antenna. The outputs of antennas are gathered by using combining circuit. We have validated by FDTD simulation that the proposed scheme enlarges the worst received power by 13.1 dB.
