Abstract

In this paper, a unique structural design methodology for chipless radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in frequency domain is presented. The tag geometry is developed by loading an open-loop resonator with micro-metallic-cells (MMC). The realization give rise to a checkerboard resonator type with electromagnetic signatures in its radar cross section that are extremely efficient to manipulate. The resonators layout is distributed on either side of a Rogers substrate to double its coding density. The proposed chipless RFID tag has a memory of 8-bits in total. The operating band of the tag is 6.5-10.5 GHz. The tag has a high bit coding density of 10.94 bits/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> and spectral efficiency of 2 bits/GHz. The tag has a very compact size of 17.4 × 4.2 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . The simple structuring methodology and efficient resonators layout will give RFID system designers the flexibility to apply the proposed tag in a wide range of modern applications.
