Description
Technical Field

With the development of wireless communication and artificial intelligence technologies, the technology of internet of things has been deeply involved in daily life and various production activities. As an important component of the internet of things, the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is widely applied to access control systems, warehouse management systems, and various industrial automation production lines, and assists people in promoting smart life and digital industry. The antenna in the RFID technology mainly comprises a tag antenna and a reader-writer antenna, wherein the reader-writer antenna can be divided into a near-field reader-writer antenna and a circularly polarized reader-writer antenna according to different application scenes and functions. The circularly polarized reader-writer antenna has the characteristics of polarization adaptation resistance, multipath effect improvement and angle insensitivity because the circularly polarized reader-writer antenna receives and transmits circularly polarized wave radio frequency signals, and can ensure that the antenna does not leak reading, is not invalid in communication and the like.
Currently, circular polarization reader/writer antennas can be roughly classified into four types: circularly polarized patch antennas, slot circularly polarized antennas, orthogonal dipole pair circularly polarized antennas, multi-feed circularly polarized antennas, and the like; the circularly polarized patch antenna is usually slotted on the patch antenna, frequency perturbation is introduced, and circularly polarized wave radiation is realized. The slot circular polarization antenna obtains two orthogonal magnetic field components by arranging orthogonal half-wavelength slots on the metal surface, thereby realizing circular polarization radiation. Because the slot antenna generally radiates in all directions at two sides, and a metal reflecting plate needs to be additionally arranged for directional radiation, the problems of limited use scenes and high integral section of the antenna exist, and the application in various different scenes is difficult to meet. The orthogonal oscillator pair circularly polarized antenna generally consists of two oscillators with frequency perturbation orthogonally arranged on a plane, and as a dual form of the slot circularly polarized antenna, the orthogonal oscillator pair circularly polarized antenna also has the defect of high antenna section and is difficult to use in a scene with limited space. The multi-feed circularly polarized antenna sequentially arranges two, three and four equal feed points on the antenna, and sequentially excites each port by using a power division phase-shift feed network, thereby obtaining broadband circularly polarized waves. Due to the adoption of the multiport and the feed network, the system has the defects of complex structure and high cost, and is difficult to popularize and apply at low cost on a large scale.
Through the above overview and analysis of the prior art, the existing circularly polarized reader-writer antenna has the disadvantages and problems of limited working bandwidth, large size, complex structure, high cost and the like, so that the existing circularly polarized reader-writer antenna is difficult to meet the performance requirements of a high-performance RFID reader-writer and the application of different scenes.
