High-Capacity Chipless RFID Tag Insensitive to the Polarization
Abstract
Designing a reader for chipless RFID is a hard task since both the polarization and operating frequency agility have to be implemented. The new tag design proposed in this paper is polarization independent, making the design of the reader easier since only linear polarization is needed to detect the tag. The proposed chipless tag is based on multiple circular ring patch resonators. The coding capacity of this tag reaches 19 bits within a compact surface of cm . Further, the frequency band is within 3.1 to 10.6 GHz to be compliant with FCC and ECC regulations for UWB. This new design is experimentally validated in the frequency domain using bi-static measurement set-up. Both amplitude and group delay responses of the tag are investigated and carried out.
