A near‐field switched loop antenna array with a circular defected ground structure for precise positioning systems is presented. By switching the loop array, the positions of the densely placed small‐sized radio frequency identification tags can be identified. The characteristics of the proposed array are verified by the comparisons to the simulated results and experimental measurements.
