Abstract

This paper presents a unique geometry of a chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag for encoding a large number of bits in a very small form factor. The tag geometry consists of semi-octagonal copper strips, sequentially laid on a single side of an ultra-thin substrate. A unique and robust encoding mechanism for the tag identification (ID) is proposed. The operating frequency spectrum of the tag ranges from 3.1 to 10.5 GHz. The tag is compact, having an overall size of 14.5 × 28 mm2. The proposed tag exhibits very high code density of 9.85 bits/cm2 and spectral efficiency of 5.4 bits/GHz. The unique geometric configuration of the proposed tag allows it to encode up to 40 bits of data as an RCS signature. This chipless RFID tag seems to be a potential candidate for a wide range of modern RFID applications.
