Abstract

This paper presents the miniaturization of a microstrip antenna at 915 MHz in the ISM "Industrial Scientific and Medical" band. This microstrip antenna is designed for RFID tag system, using the fractal technique, on FR4 substrate. The simulation is performed using CST Microwave Studio. The total area of the final circuit is 66.84 x 68.015 mm2. The validated antenna has a good matching input impedance range from 910 MHz to 920 MHz with a stable radiation pattern, a loss return of -40.67 dB, a directivity of 2.35 dB, and a gain of 1.62 dBi.
