Design of fully printable chipless RFID tag on flexible substrate for secure banknote applications

摘要

A fully printable, passive and planar chipless RFID tag on thin flexible substrate is presented. The chipless tag encodes data into the spectral signature using a multiresonating circuit. Both amplitude and phase components of the spectral signature are used for data encoding. The tag comprises of a microstrip multiresonating circuit with 6 multi-spiral resonators and two cross-polarized UWB disc loaded monopole transmitting and receiving antennas. The chipless tag is designed to be printed on the Australian banknote and provide an extra layer of security against counterfeiting.
