Provided is a dual polarization antenna realized by using four inverted F-type radiators and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader employing the dual polarization antenna. The dual polarization antenna includes a ground plate and four inverted F-type radiators set up on the ground plate. Currents of the same phase are fed to the first and second inverted F-type radiators each other. Currents of an inverted phase are fed to the third and fourth inverted F-type radiators each other. The four inverted F-type radiators form an angle of 90° with one another. The first and second inverted F-type radiators radiate electric wave of vertical polarization and the third and fourth inverted F-type radiators radiate electric wave of horizontal polarization. Since the dual polarization antenna has excellent orthogonal and isolation characteristics, the antenna can extend a transmission distance between the reader and the tag and improve a communication quality.

Provided is an antenna for a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader using an electrical loop. It includes an upper metal plate which functions as a radiator; a lower metal plate which is disposed apart from the upper metal plate by a predetermined distance and functions as a radiator; a ground plate disposed apart from the lower metal plate by a predetermined distance; and a feeding probe disposed at the center of the upper and lower metal plates. The antenna can perform radiation parallel to the earth's surface including other directions. Therefore, it is suitable for an RFID reader which recognizes an RFID tag attached in parallel to the earth's surface. The electrical loop antenna can control impedance matching, resonance frequency, antenna gain, and radiation pattern according to the distance between metal plates, size of the metal plates, thickness of a feeding probe, and how the metal plates are arranged.
