By introducing the Wilkinson divider and dual L-shaped strips as a feeding network, broadband design of planar circularly polarized (CP) annual-ring antenna for ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID system is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed broadband CP antenna can provide the impedance bandwidth (RL = 10 dB) of about 246MHz (25.0% @ 985MHz) and the 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth of about 180MHz (19.5% @ 925MHz) to meet the worldwide UHF RFID band (860 ∼ 960MHz). Meanwhile, with unidirectional pattern in the XZand Y Z-planes, the measured peak gain and radiation efficiency are about 7.7 dBic and 70% across the operating band, respectively.
