Abstract
A novel methodology is proposed to reliably predict the resonant characteristics of a multipatch backscatter-based radio frequency identification (RFID) chipless tag. An ultra-wideband impulsion radio (UWB-IR)-based reader interrogates the chipless tag with a UWB pulse, and analyzes the obtained backscatter in the time domain. The RFID system consists of a radar cross-section (RCS)-based chipless tag containing a square microstrip patch antenna array in which the chipless tag is interrogated with a UWB pulse by an UWB-IR-based reader. The main components of the backscattered signal, the structural mode, and the antenna mode were identified and their spectral quality was evaluated. The study revealed that the antenna-mode backscatter includes signal carrying information, while the structural mode backscatter does not include any tag information. The simulation findings were confirmed by experimental measurements obtained in an anechoic chamber environment using a 6-bit multipatch chipless RFID tag. Finally, the novel technique does not use calibration tags and can freely orient tags with respect to the reader.

Summary
Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technique that has been applied to transmit and receive wireless data. It is intensively used in various applications such as automatic identification, asset tracking, and security surveillance [1,2]. Traditional passive RFID systems use tags with no internal power source. The cost of RFID reduces its potential to replace trillions of barcodes [1,2]. To solve this problem, a chipless RFID tag is considered a good alternative [1]
