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.

An ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna is provided. It comprises a dielectric substrate, a ground plate, a metal plate, and a transmission line. The ground plate formed on the dielectric substrate has a first slot thereon. The metal plate formed on the dielectric substrate has a feed-point and a second slot thereon. The total length of the second slot is about a half-wavelength at the desired notched frequency for the UWB antenna. By embedding the second slot of a suitable length on the metal plate resided in the first slot, a band notched characteristic is achieved for the antenna in the 5 GHz band, thereby overcoming the problem of signal interference with the UWB operations. The disclosed antenna and the circuitry for the antenna system are easily integrated. With the simple structure, the fabrication cost for the antenna is also reduced.
