Abstract

This work addresses a beam steering scheme for RFID readers. The proposed architecture uses a double Butler matrix network configuration in order to provide polarization diversity to the antenna array. The array is placed on a faceted surface, aiming at a coverage sector increase. Circuit architecture and simulation results are presented.
