Abstract
The present disclosure provides an antenna apparatus and a circuit board thereof for an RFD device to provide wide field effect coverage. The antenna apparatus includes a housing having a concavity defined therein, a printed circuit board disposed inside the concavity of the housing, two plates respectively located on opposite side portions of the circuit board, and a metal pattern sandwiched between and wirelessly coupled to the two plates. By disposing the metal pattern at the central portion of the circuit board and sandwiched between and coupled to the two plates, the field effect is enhanced, and the sensitivity of the antenna apparatus when detecting an object passing through the field (near field detection) is improved.
