The interleaver circuit is used to mix two data streams into one physical channel while the deinterleaver splits them into two different channels. The circuit satisfies the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) specifications, including a channel 3 dB-bandwidth of ±10 GHz around the maximum transmission, a channel free spectral range of 100 GHz, channel spacing of 50 GHz, crosstalk of −23 dB, and a maximum dispersion of 30 ps/nm. The circuit operates at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm. The genetic algorithm is employed to achieve the best coupling coefficients between the circuit components. The developed algorithm proves very efficient as it provides the design parameters required to achieve all of the WDM requirements in a very short time compared to the previously presented design approach, which relied on excessive numerical calculations besides investigating the circuit transmission in the Z domain.","PeriodicalId":156721,"journal":{"name":"2022 39th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133570227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analyzing past work that has a focus on chipless tag design, most of the work in the literature aims to improve the design methodologies to attain the best orientation independence and coding capacity by lowering tag size and adding more resonators (more bits) at the same size. This work introduces a novel Slit Gear C-Shaped slot ring resonator. The proposed design has many features such as its low-cost, planar, completely printable, dual-polarized, orientation independent, symmetric structure, single layer, and small Tag of chipless RFID. The suggested Prototype is made up of multiple overlapping gears-shaped circular patch slot resonators and has a radius of 7.4 mm. The slot corrugation using the gear-shaped slots miniaturized the overall size, keeping the tag’s polarization-independent features. To enhance the detection range, the designed tag is repeated in an array of different sizes to guarantee good signal detection. This tag’s single-layer properties make it a good choice for conductive ink printing within the range of 3 to 35 GHz. The tags are fabricated and measured in the lab where good results are obtained.","PeriodicalId":156721,"journal":{"name":"2022 39th National Radio Science Conference (NRSC)","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127309131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed Digital PLL (DPLL) is designed with a current-controlled ring oscillator (CCRO) which consumes low power and has a small locking time and operates over a wide range compared to other Digitally Controlled Oscillators (DCOs).
