At the same time, the structure is simple and occupy small volume. The simulation results show that the impedance bandwidth of the probe proposed to this paper is 6-50GHz, and the isolation between the ports is more than 30dB in the whole frequency band, and it has good radiation performance and cross-polarization level.

The two methods are described in terms of both conversion efficiency and performance at a system level. It is underlined that one of the main requirements for obtaining good performance of the chipless RFID system relies on the design of the reader transmitting and receiving antennas which should be wideband and guarantee a low level of radiated cross-polarization, together with a low-mutual coupling.","PeriodicalId":230714,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131170106","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 developed formulation is accurate and numerically very fast. Structural parameters of the dielectric post-wall waveguide are properly chosen in order to achieve the confinement of the field in the guiding region as strong as possible even in case of one-layered dielectric structure.
