Chipless RFID tags based on multiple band-rejected planar log-periodic antennas

摘要

A passive chipless Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag is proposed based on the tailorable band-rejection property of the log-periodic (LP) antennas. The proposed tag principle is successfully demonstrated using full-wave simulations, where the absence and presence of the band-rejection in VSWR and thus radiation gain, is shown to carry the bit information. Due to the large number of dipole radiators on the LP aperture, the proposed tag can easily support large number of codes, providing a potential solution for limited number of bits in conventional chipless tags. © 2013 IEEE.
