摘要： A mobile computing device as described herein includes an integrated UHF radio frequency identification (“RFID”) reader and UHF RFID reader antenna within the housing of the device. The mobile computing device supports traditional general purpose functions, such as data capture, scanning, imaging, or the like, in addition to RFID reader functions. The housing of the device fully encloses the RFID reader and antenna such that the RFID components are permanently enclosed by the housing. The integrated design of the device eliminates the need for an RFID accessory and provides for multi-tasking and multi-functioning.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a combined and compact monopole and slot antenna providing circular polarization for various applications, such as ultra high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID). The antenna of the present invention combines a slot antenna with a monopole antenna using a single feed to drive both, effectively resulting in a circular polarized antenna. In an exemplary embodiment, the antenna may be integrated internally to a mobile device and printed on a flex or a printed circuit board (PCB), made from sheet metal, etc. Advantageously, the design of the antenna provides performance similar to circular polarized patch antennas while avoiding the size, weight, and cost.

摘要： A handheld radio frequency identification (RFID) reader includes a polarization insensitive antenna that enables simultaneous operation in two orthogonal polarization modes. The RFID reader includes an RF communication module and an antenna coupled to the RF communication module. The RF communication module is configured to process RF signals associated with operation of the RFID reader, and the antenna is configured to transmit and receive RF energy associated with operation of the RFID reader. The antenna includes a conductive loop element having a major longitudinal path, and a slot formed in the conductive loop element along the major longitudinal path. The conductive loop element is configured to operate as a first antenna polarized in a first orientation, and the slot is configured to operate as a second antenna polarized in a second orientation.
