The application discloses a holographic
metamaterial array antenna applied to an RFID reader-writer, which comprises an
impedance modulation unit area and a
planar monopole area, wherein the
impedance modulation unit area is formed by periodically arranging
impedance modulation units in a rectangular shape, the impedance modulation unit comprises at least two
layers of rectangular
metal patch
layers and at least two
layers of rectangular
dielectric layers and is located above a layer of rectangular
metal ground plate layers, and the rectangular
metal patch layer farthest from the rectangular metal
ground plate layer has a slit structure; the
planar monopole area is arranged at a central position of the holographic
metamaterial array antenna, the
planar monopole area comprises a planar monopole, at least one layer of rectangular
dielectric layers and a layer of rectangular metal
ground plate layers, wherein the planar monopole is located at the same layer as the rectangular metal patch layer; and the thickness of the planar monopole area is less than or equal to the thickness of the impedance modulation unit area. The application has clear working area boundaries, can realize a powerful working area field type and uniform coverage, and further improves reading effect.
