Abstract
There is provided an antenna structure for a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader. The antenna structure includes a substrate, and an antenna structure disposed on the substrate. The antenna includes a peripheral frame portion, a first strip section disposed at a first side of the peripheral frame portion, and a second strip section disposed at a second side of the peripheral frame portion. In particular, the first strip section and the second strip section each includes multiple spaced-apart strip portions extending from a first part of the peripheral frame portion to a second part of the peripheral frame portion. There is also provided a method of manufacturing the antenna structure, an RFID reader system including the antenna structure, and an RFID system including the RFID reader system and an RFID tag.
