  • This article proposes a hexagonal shaped circularly polarized (CP) antenna at ultra-high frequency (UHF) for radio frequency identification (RFID) and X-band applications. Initially, the antenna operates only in X-band and to convert this CP dual-band antenna asymmetric ground plane and four electromagnetic band gap structures are employed. A metasurface consisting of two complementary metamaterial structures is positioned above the patch at a 9 mm distance to enhance the gain and impedance bandwidth in both the bands. The presented antenna whose electrical dimension 0.48 λg × 0.48 λg × 0.02 λg achieves an impedance bandwidth of 796 MHz and of 4.24 GHz in UHF–RFID and X-band spectrum, respectively. The proposed antenna achieves circular polarization and has a bandwidth of 995 MHz and 796 MHz which spans 2.28–3.28 GHz and 10.44–11.24 GHz, respectively, with a 3 dB axial ratio. In addition to these, a stable radiation characteristic with an average gain of 6 dBi at both 2.45 GHz and 11.21 GHz are achieved which makes it suitable for RFID based real time logistic warehousing applications.
