It is based on a 7.25 GHz oscillator driven by a base-band pulse generator, and connected to a small size UWB antenna. The oscillator is turned on and off by the base-band pulsed control voltage, according to a modulation scheme, and it consumes power only when the 7.25 GHz pulse is generated. The RF pulse waveform exhibits a peak amplitude of about 2.2 Vpp and a width of about 2 ns. The power spectral density of the single UWB pulse is in accordance with the European UWB mask. A planar compact UWB antenna is also proposed as the load of the transmitter. It shows a return loss lower than -14 dB in the operating frequency band.","PeriodicalId":232862,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on RFID-Technologies and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122418718","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}

First, we introduce an inkjet printed chipless UWB RFID for ultra-low cost applications such as item-level tracking. The identification number is coded by variations of the impedance over the transmission line, resulting in the OOK modulated data by means of pulse reflections in time domain. Prototypes were fabricated and measured for 4-bit tag and 8-bit tag, respectively. Thanks to the employment of fully printing process and paper substrates, the tag is potentially ultra-low cost in volume production. Second, a wirelessly powered RFID tag with an active UWB transmitter is studied for advanced applications such as wireless positioning and sensing. The tag is powered by UHF continuous waves, whereas it uses an UWB pulse generator to transmit data to the reader. It ensures the improved coverage and accurate positioning over traditional backscattering UHF tags. UWB readers, positioning, and sensing are also discussed in a system perspective. The two solutions reveal that UWB is a viable alternative to existing passive RFIDs adapting both low-cost applications and high-performance sensing and positioning applications.","PeriodicalId":232862,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on RFID-Technologies and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132056484","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 considered system is a centralized scheme that involves a server, readers and tags. The propagation model used to estimate the received power considers the path loss and shadowing effects.

However, the absence of a microchip in chipless tags limits the processing capabilities hence the RFID reader has to improvise most of the processing. In the mean time researchers have focused on applying MIMO antenna technology and decoding techniques in chipped RFID systems to utilize its unique spatial multiplexing capability and high diversity gains. However, applying the same techniques in chipless RFID systems is still a challenge due to less processing power available at the tag. This paper proposes a novel MIMO based multi-resonator chipless RFID systems and its validity is verified using Matlab simulations.","PeriodicalId":232862,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on RFID-Technologies and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":"264 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126938000","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}
