Capacitively loaded dipoles for chipless RFID transponder

This paper proposes a novel uniplanar capacitively loaded dipole-scatterers as building elements for chipless RFID tags with frequency domain coding information. These elements are compared with the known structures in terms of quantities which are crucial for read range (radar cross-section), coding bit capacity (resonance bandwidth), and electrical size. Most suitable type of scatterer was arranged into a 5-bit tag, manufactured and verified by measurement in anechoic chamber.
