Abstract: A novel compact design of planar circularly polarized (CP) tag antenna for UHF RFID system is proposed. By introducing the Y-shaped slit as the feed structure, the measured half-power bandwidth of the proposed CP tag antenna can be more than 135 MHz (860–1000 MHz), which includes the entire operating bandwidth for worldwide UHF RFID system. The obtained 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth can be about 10 MHz suitable for Taiwan UHF RFID applications. The proposed tag antenna reduces the antenna size by at least 30% since the antenna size is only 40 × 40 × π mm2. The simulated peak gain and antenna efficiency are approximately 0.4 dBic and 91% for Taiwan UHF RFID band. Meanwhile, with omnidirectional reading pattern, the measured reading distance is about 7.2 m. Good tag sensitivity was obtained across the desired frequency band.
