Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ultrahigh frequency near-field radio frequency identification antennas, in particular to a near-field radio frequency identification antenna with an electrically large-size identification area.
Background
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a non-contact automatic Identification technology, and is mainly composed of a reader, a tag, and a reader antenna. The reader sends out radio frequency signals, the current generated by the induction of the tag can excite the chip in the tag to work in a space coupling mode, and finally the reader can identify the tag and send out the radio frequency signals, so that the reading and writing of information in the tag are realized. In a near field RFID system, the coupling mode between the reader antenna and the tag may be divided into magnetic field coupling and electric field coupling. If the electric field coupling mode is adopted, the induced energy is transferred in the electric field mode, and the distribution of the electric field is influenced by objects with larger dielectric constants and larger losses around the antenna. In the magnetic field coupling mode, the induced energy is transferred in the form of a magnetic field, which is only affected by objects with a high magnetic permeability. However, in nature, objects with higher dielectric constants are very common, but there are very few objects with higher magnetic permeability, and most experts and scholars study near-field RFID reader antennas based on magnetic field coupling technology in order to make the antennas work reliably in complex environments. For a traditional LF/HF RFID reader antenna, a coil antenna with a small size (the circumference of the coil is smaller than, λ is the wavelength in the free space at the corresponding frequency) is generally used, the direction of the current on the coil can be kept in the same direction, so that a strong and uniform magnetic field can be generated at the center of the coil, however, a new technical problem exists for designing an ultra-high frequency near field RFID reader antenna, that is, the wavelength of electromagnetic waves in an ultra-high frequency band is short, and when designing a near field radio frequency identification reader antenna with an electric large size (the circumference of the coil is larger than, λ is the wavelength in the free space at the corresponding frequency), the current attenuates to zero and changes direction at a quarter wavelength position, which phenomenon weakens the magnetic field strength generated in the antenna area, so that the tag reading capability is reduced. Therefore, how to overcome the current reversal problem so that the antenna generates a strong and uniform magnetic field in an electrically large-sized area is a key to the design of the near-field UHF-RFID antenna.
In order to solve the above problems, many researchers have proposed several near-field UHF-RFID antennas based on magnetic field coupling technology in recent years.

A Broadband Near-field UHFRFID antenna[J]IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation 2010, 58(12):3829-2(0.47 λ x 0.47 λ, λ being the wavelength in free space at a frequency of 915 MHz), the maximum distance for 100% tag identification can be up to 24 mm.

Document [6]（Shen L W, Zhuang W, Tang WC, and Ma J. Achieving Uniform Perpendicular Magnetic Field Distribution forNear-field UHF RFID[J]IET microwave Antennas and Propagation, 2016, 10(2):215-Direct Currents) using two "interdigital" opposite-phase current units and a feed network with a phase difference of 900, realizes identification area (460 × 160 mm) with large electric size2) The inner magnetic field is uniformly distributed. Document [7 ]]（Pakkathillam J K, Kanagasabai M, Varadhan C,et al. A Novel Fractal Antenna for UHF Near-Field RFID Readers[J]IEEEAntennas and Wireless Propagation reader, 2013, 12(5): 1141-. In summary, none of the above documents mention the problem of tag misreading outside the identification area, which is also a non-negligible problem in near field UHF-RFID antenna design.
It can be seen that the existing near field antenna UHF-RFID antenna based on the magnetic field coupling technology can realize an electrically large-sized identification area, but the problem of tag misreading outside the identification area exists.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the following detailed description. It should be understood that the description is intended to be exemplary only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present invention.
Example (b):
as shown in fig. 1, a near field rfid antenna having an electrically large size identification area employs FR4 sheet material having a dielectric constant of 4.4, a loss tangent of 0.02, and a thickness of 0.8 mm. The whole antenna is composed of two ring structures: an outer ring structure and an inner parasitic coupling ring structure. Both ring structures are composed of transmission lines and a plurality of 'interdigital structures'. The bottom end of the outer ring is a feeding part and is bent towards the central area. Adopts a double-sided zigzag microstrip line feed structure. Through simulation optimization, the specific structure and size of the antenna are shown in FIG. 1. The outer ring structure is that the loop antenna 10 is arranged at the periphery, the coupling ring structure is that the coupling loop antenna 20 is arranged in the outer ring antenna, the loop antenna 10 and the coupling loop antenna 20 comprise a plurality of interdigital structures 30, and the interdigital structures 30 are connected through a transmission line 13; the middle part of the bottom end of the loop antenna 10 is bent towards the coupling loop antenna 20, and the bottom end of the loop antenna 10 is provided with a feeding port 40.
As shown in fig. 2, the interdigital structure 30 comprises an upper block 31 and a lower block 32 matched with the upper block 31, wherein the upper block 31 is provided with at least one protrusion 311 downwards, the protrusion 311 extends into a recess 321 of the lower block 32, and a certain gap is formed between the protrusion 311 and the recess 321.
The capacitance formed by the interdigital structure 30 resonates with the inductance of the connected transmission line 13 at the center frequency.
The coupling loop antenna 20 has 4 interdigital structures 30 disposed on each side.
The upper end of the loop antenna 10 is provided with 7 interdigital structures 30, the bottom end of the loop antenna 10 is provided with 10 interdigital structures, and two side ends of the loop antenna 10 are respectively provided with 8 interdigital structures.
The length of the bent portion 11 at the bottom end of the loop antenna 10 is close to the length of the bottom end of the coupled loop antenna 20. Each side of the bending portion 11 is disposed on 2 interdigital structures 30.
The working principle of the antenna is as follows: in order to realize the antenna in an electrically large area (320 x 320 mm)20.98 x) and the magnetic field outside the region quickly attenuates to the label identification threshold value. Firstly, a plurality of interdigital structures are adopted on the outer ring and the inner ring, which is equivalent to capacitor loading, and the number and the spacing of the interdigital structures are adjusted to obtain a capacitance value with a proper size, so that each section of transmission line and a capacitor connected with the transmission line resonate at a central frequency, and the capacitance can be offset with inductance on the transmission line. The lagging phase generated by the original current on each transmission line is compensated by resonance, so that the current on the outer ring and the current on the inner ring flow in opposite directions. According to the right-hand spiral rule, magnetic fields between the outer ring and the inner ring are mutually superposed, and magnetic fields in areas outside the outer ring and inside the inner ring are mutually offset; on the other hand, after the capacitor adopting the interdigital structure is loaded, the length of the current on the ring which keeps flowing in the same direction is increased, so that the identification area is enlarged. Then, the feed part is bent towards the central area (y direction) and is close to the inner ring, so that the coupling strength with the inner ring is increased, the magnetic field generated by the inner ring is stronger, the antenna achieves the purpose of uniformly distributing the magnetic field in the whole electric large area, and the magnetic field outside the area is attenuated to the identification threshold.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the surface current distribution of the antenna at the frequency of 915MHz, and it can be seen that the currents on the two loop structures of the antenna are distributed in the same direction.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of simulated and measured return loss of the antenna of the present invention, and it can be seen from the diagram that the-10 dB impedance bandwidth is 255MHz, from 720MHz to 975MGHz, and includes the whole UHF band. In addition, for the tag using the Gen2 chip, when the magnetic field in the antenna identification area reaches-20 dBA/m, the chip can be ensured to obtain enough driving energy, and the system can work effectively, so that the identification area and the identification distance of the antenna can be judged by observing the distribution situation of the magnetic field above the antenna.
Fig. 5 is a simulated magnetic field distribution diagram of the antenna at different observation height planes. The heights of the observation from left to right are 0.5mm, 20mm and 40mm respectively. From the schematic view of the magnetic field amplitude distribution at viewing heights of 0.5mm and 20mm, it can be seen that at 320X 320mm2The magnetic field intensity in the area is larger than the identification threshold, and the magnetic field distribution is uniform, so that the magnetic field requirement of the near field UHF-RFID system is met. The observation height is a schematic diagram of the magnetic field amplitude distribution at 40mm, and it can be seen from the figure that the antenna has a recognition blind zone at this height. Finally, to verify the performance of the antenna, the area 400 × 400mm is identified directly above the antenna2Divided into 20X 20 squares and tested every 20mm height using the Thin-tag1700 series of labels, and every 5mm height between 20 and 40 mm.
FIG. 6 is a graph showing the result of tag identification rate test, showing that the antenna is realized at 320 × 320mm2In the electrically large-size area, the maximum distance of the tag with the 100% identification rate is 35mm, the maximum identifiable distance is 180mm, the tag outside the identification area cannot be misread, and the tag has good near field characteristics, so that the design purpose is achieved.
And (3) carrying out modeling simulation by using HFSS (high frequency Structure simulator), and after the simulation result reaches the standard, leading out the simulation model of the antenna and processing and manufacturing the antenna by using a printed circuit board process, wherein the plate is selected from FR4, the dielectric constant is 4.4, the loss tangent is 0.02 and the thickness is 0.8 mm. The used FR-4 dielectric plate has the advantages of low cost, simple structure and easy processing. On the premise of meeting the bandwidth requirement (covering the use range of China UHF-RFID frequency band), the antenna provided by the invention pays more attention to the strength and uniformity of magnetic field distribution in the antenna identification area, so that the reliable reading of the near field label is ensured, the magnetic field strength outside the identification area is smaller than an identification threshold value, and the label cannot be misread outside the identification area.
