Nowadays, the chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag is attracting significant attention owing to its immense potential in tracking. However, most of the chipless tags are fabricated on hard printed circuit boards, and the wearable fabric-based chipless tag is still in the research stage. In this paper, a symmetrical 3rd L-shaped multi-resonator wearable chipless RFID tag is designed and screen-printed onto fabric. In order to investigate the influence of the non-uniform conductive layer on the signal transmission at high frequency, the surface and cross-sectional topographies of the printed conductive film are analyzed and the frequency response characteristics are simulated and measured. The obtained results show that the common fabric can be used as the substrate to screen print the L-shaped multi-resonators of the chipless RFID tag, and the quality of the screen printed line, especially a narrow line, significantly affects the radio frequency performance. For the screen-printed 3rd L-shaped stub resonators, the relative frequency shift compared with the simulation results are 0.99%, 0.88% and 2.26%, respectively. Generally, the surface morphology of fabric and screen-printed precision are critical in improving the performance of L-shaped multi-resonators.

The electromagnetic (EM) imaging technique at mm-band 60 GHz is proposed for data encoding purpose in the chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. The fully printable chipless RFID tag comprises tiny conductive EM polarizers to create high cross-polar radar cross-section. Synthetic aperture radar approach is applied for formation of the tag's EM-image and revealing the tag's content. The achieved high data encoding capacity of 2 bits/cm2in this technique based on a fully printable tag is very convincing for many applications. The system immunity to multipath interference, bending effect, and printing inaccuracy suggests huge potentials for low-cost item tagging. Tags are also readable through a tick paper envelop; hence secure identification is provided by the proposed technique.

Abstract This paper presents a polarization-independent 11-bit chipless RFID tag based on frequency-selective surface which has been designed for encoding and relative humidity (RH) sensing applications. The 10 exterior U-shaped resonators are used for item encoding whereas Kapton has been incorporated with the interior resonator for RH sensing. This radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag operates in S- and C-frequency bands. The proposed design offers enhanced fractional bandwidth up to 88% with the density of 4.46 bits/cm2. Both single- and dual-layer tags have been investigated. The simulated results are in good agreement with measured results and a comparison with existing literature is presented to show the performance. Simple geometry, high code density, large frequency signature bandwidth, high magnitude bit, high radar cross-section, and angular stability for more than 75° are the unique outcomes of the proposed design. In addition, RH sensing has been achieved by integrating the Kapton on the same RFID tag.

A three-dimensional (3D) printable chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, with high density and sensitivity, is proposed and fulfilled on insulator substrates. By printing a rectangular slot ring and designing specific geometry on the substrate, the printed structure shows high sensitivity in a resonant manner, with the benefits of high density and low cost. Considering the multiple rectangular rings with different sizes in a concentric distribution, a bit coding sequence can be observed in frequency spectra because of the corresponding different resonant frequencies aroused by the printed slots. In this way, the 3D printable chipless RFID tag can be fulfilled by adopting the structure of the rectangular slot ring on the insulated substrates. The main characteristics of the designed rectangular slot rings are verified on both flexible and solid substrates. A 12-bit chipless tag based on the slot ring structures is designed and implemented. The simulation and experiment results show good agreement on its characteristics. The frequency response reveals the fact that the 2th, 3th and 4th harmonic do not exist, which is a unique merit for improving the encoding capacity and the sensitivity of the corresponding reader. The electric field direction of the electromagnetic wave of the reader excitation tag is demonstrated to be wide, up to 90° on the tag horizontal plane, 30° on the vertical direction.

In order to detect the urination, the RFID antenna was designed and the characteristics of the antenna were calculated. In addition, the antenna characteristics were measured with a phantom. As the result, urination considerably changes the antenna characteristics and that the system can be used to detect the urination.

An analytical model for metamaterial differential transmission lines (MTM-DTLs) with a corrugated ground-plane electromagnetic bandgap (CGP-EBG) structure in high-speed printed circuit boards is proposed. The proposed model aims to efficiently and accurately predict the suppression of common-mode noise and differential signal transmission characteristics. Analytical expressions for the four-port impedance matrix of the CGP-EBG MTM-DTL are derived using coupled-line theory and a segmentation method. Converting the impedance matrix into mixed-mode scattering parameters enables obtaining common-mode noise suppression and differential signal transmission characteristics. The comprehensive evaluations of the CGP-EBG MTM-DTL using the proposed analytical model are also reported, which is validated by comparing mixed-mode scattering parameters Scc21 and Sdd21 with those obtained from full-wave simulations and measurements. The proposed analytical model provides a drastic reduction of computation time and accurate results compared to full-wave simulation.

In this paper, we characterized and compared signal transmission performances of traces with different specifications of fiber weave. Measurements demonstrated that the dielectric constant, impedance fluctuation, and differential skew were all affected by fiber weave style. For flattened fiber weaves, the dielectric constant fluctuation reached 0.18, the impedance fluctuation amplitude was 1.0 Ω, and the differential skew was 2 ps/inch. For conventional fiber weaves, the three parameters were 0.44, 2.5 Ω, and 4 ps/inch respectively. Flattened fiber weave was more favorable for high-speed signal control. We also discussed the other methods to improve the fiber weave effect. It turned out that NE-glass (new electronic glass) fiber weave also had better performance in reducing impedance fluctuation and differential skew. Furthermore, made the signal traces and fiber weave bundles with an angle or designing the long signal line parallel to the weft direction both are simple and effective methods to solve this problem.
