The bandwidth and average peak gain of unit cell antenna designed are 5-40 GHz and 3.34 dBi. A 1×2 array is designed with average gain of 6.67 dBi and bandwidth 6.87-40 GHz. A 1×3 antenna array is designed. The unit cell antenna is fabricated with simulated return loss in agreement with measured return loss.

The most commonly used models are not derived from basic physical fundamentals, but are rather determined by parameter extraction techniques from experiment. This requires that the device be fabricated and characterized before the model can be determined. An alternate approach is to derive the model from fundamental physics, which permits the model to be used in device design as well as circuit applications. In this work a zone-based approach to physics-based compact model development is described. The approach starts from fundamental physical principles and produces a model that accurately describes the dc and RF performance of the device. The zone-based approach divides the device into zones based upon operational physical phenomena. The various zones are described with a simplified set of equations, and the zones are then linked to form the complete model. The physics-based approach produces a compact model that can easily be formulated to include all pertinent physical phenomena known to affect device performance. The zone-based approach yields a flexible device model that is both quantitatively accurate and easy to employ in system level simulators.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124878810","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}

This reduction significantly improves the uniformity of the RCS response of the tag over the operational frequency range from 2 to 4 GHz. The first modification to the tag layout is based on an inter-element rearrangement of the array elements. The second layout modification is based on narrowing the strip width and tapering the longitudinal dipole arms toward the open end. Significantly improved homogeneity of the RCS response in comparison with the original array of folded dipole scatterers was confirmed by simulation and by measurements of 20-bit chipless RFID transponders. The second modification further improves the frequency resolution, which may consequently provide higher encoding capacity in a unit area, but at the expense of a decreased RCS response.","PeriodicalId":354299,"journal":{"name":"2016 21st International Conference on Microwave, Radar and Wireless Communications (MIKON)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128697806","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}
