An RFID antenna comprises two or more electroconductive sheets of uniform planar size, being parallel and aligned, with a space therein between. Each electroconductive sheet comprises: a feed connection point, which receives an electrical current from a feed to supply current to the electroconductive sheet; and a return connection point, opposite and parallel to the feed connection point of the electroconductive sheet, which acquires current from the electroconductive sheet and transfers current to a return. The electrical circuit pathway created from the feed to the return is equal distance for each electroconductive sheet. The two electroconductive sheets are connected together to complete a circuit that causes direction of electrical flow in the one electroconductive sheet to be opposite to direction of electric flow in the other electroconductive sheet.

The invention discloses shared-aperture dual-band dual-polarized antenna array and communication equipment. The antenna array comprises a first dielectric substrate, a second dielectric substrate, a third dielectric substrate, a fourth dielectric substrate, and a fifth dielectric substrate.
