Mastering the Electromagnetic Signature of Chipless RFID Tags

The rapid development in wireless identification devices and subsequent applications is at the origin of intensive investigations in order to fulfill various constraints that can exist when implementing applications in practice. Chipless technologies have many advantages. They are fundamentally wireless and powerless devices, and can be all passive components, which potentially means infinite lifetime. However, chipless technology is still in its infancy age, even if it is the most effective for cost reduction. One of the most important features of chipless is coding capacity and ways to imprint it into the device. This chapter will review and discuss various coding techniques. It will address a comparison of the most relevant coding techniques. For sake of clarity some global parameters that can be used as figure of merit will be introduced and applied to compare different practical chipless tags. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-1616-5.ch008
