The purpose of this paper is to recover VCO tank quality factor at high frequency due to the degradation of varactor and inductor. The proposed VCO adopts variable supply method to tune the resonant frequency instead of using a standalone varactor. The helium-3 ion irradiation is applied to further improve inductor quality factor by reducing substrate loss. The VCO has been implemented in a standard 180nm CMOS process for validation. It achieves phase noise of −139.5dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset frequency with 10mW power consumption, which is comparable with other state-of-the art VCOs implemented in more advanced process.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115613208","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 antenna produces a near end-fire radiation pattern directed towards the user's line of sight with the directivity of 4 dBi. Moreover, it integrates another tag by utilizing the Yagi antenna's reflector as a second dipole tag antenna with broadside radiation directed upwards from the user. Hence, in one platform, we obtain a dual-ID tag with near end-fire and broadside patterns for the two tag IDs. The former is achieved by inserting a periodic surface made up of a 2-by-2 grid of square loops in between the antenna and the body. This enhances the launching of surface waves for achieving the end-fire radiation and suppresses the undesired electromagnetic antenna-body interaction.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117257508","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 adjusting the loading position of varactors in quarter-wavelength resonators and coupling region in half-wavelength resonators, the required coupling coefficient and constant ABW can be achieved. Four transmission zeros are introduced by the cross coupling, which improve the stopband rejection performance and selectivity. For demonstration, the proposed filter is simulated and optimized.

Due to the planar structure of the chipless tags, this technology has a high potential for sensing and identification with a low price compared to that of the chipped RFID. However, lower data capacity is one of the crucial challenges for frequency domain chipless RFID tags due to limited available bandwidth resources and the quality factor of the resonators. On the other hand, the implementation of low-quality factor resonators design in the printed tag is not feasible due to broadening the resonances. Therefore, designing high-quality-factor resonators for chipless RFID tags is a need. In this paper, a high spectral efficient hairpin resonator for chipless RFID sensing and identification is proposed. To demonstrate the design concept, using the proposed resonators, a 40-bit chipless RFID tag with 3.5 GHz operating bandwidth was designed, fabricated and measured. This design has the potential to arrange 50 resonators in less than 4 GHz bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":162908,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125285387","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}
