radio frequency identification (RFID) application in this letter. The proposed antenna is
composed of two planar reversed log-periodic dipole antenna (LPDA) units. The concept of
two closely spaced, oppositely directed currents (ODCs) and the design guideline of LPDA
are adopted to achieve strong and uniform magnetic field in the near-field zone of the
antenna with a broad bandwidth. The proposed antenna is printed on a 170× 170× 1 mm 3 …
