343797, 343700 MS

An antenna providing circular polarization for received and transmitted signals. The antenna comprises a vertical conductive surfaces oriented to form a closed structure and horizontal conductive surfaces forming a top face of the closed structure. Connection of selected vertical panels to a feed and ground, causes current flow in the vertical and horizontal surfaces that results in a circular polarized signal.

343702, 343846

An antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency energy. The antenna comprises a conductive top plate formed in the shape of a spiral. In one embodiment a sidewall meanderline extends from an edge of the top plate in the direction of a ground plane. A shorting meanderline connects the top plate and the ground plane. A first region of the top plate overlies the ground plane. A second region of the top plate extends beyond the ground plane. Tuning is provided by adjusting the length and other dimensions of the meanderlines.

343700MS, 343702, 343829, 343846

An antenna for transmitting and receiving radio frequency energy. The antenna comprises a conductive radiator comprising a first and a second conductive region for providing a first and a second current path length. A feed conductor and a ground conductor operate as meanderline (or slow wave) elements to provide an electrical length longer than a physical length.

H01Q 1/24

343702, 343700 MS, 343895

A radio frequency transmitting and receiving apparatus comprising an antenna further comprising a plurality of antenna segments. Each segment exhibits a different electrical length and certain of the segments are capacitively coupled to establish a resonant frequency for each segment. In one embodiment, the certain segments comprise a plurality of concentric arcuate conductive elements connected to a signal terminal and a ground plane.

H01Q 1/36

343895, 343700 MS, 3405727

A radio frequency identification tag attached to an object and comprising an antenna and an integrated circuit for providing object information to a separate reader. The antenna further comprises a pair of meanderline transmission lines each terminated at a first end for conductive connection to the integrated circuit. A shorting bar connected between the pair of meanderline transmission lines at the first ends is operative to match an antenna impedance with an integrated circuit impedance.
