In this paper, a review of the state-of-the-art chipless radiofrequency identification (RFID) technology is carried out. This recent technology may provide low cost tags as long as these tags are not equipped with application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Nevertheless, chipless-RFID presents a series of technological challenges that have been addressed by different research groups in the last decade. One of these challenges is to increase the data storage capacity of tags, in order to be competitive with optical barcodes, or even with chip-based RFID tags. Thus, the main aim of this paper is to properly clarify the advantages and disadvantages of chipless-RFID technology. Moreover, since the coding information is an important aspect in such technology, the different coding techniques, as well as the main figures of merit used to compare different chipless-RFID tags, will be analyzed.

Non-palpable, surgical breast lesions require image guidance to direct the site of excision. With the widespread adoption of screening mammography and increased identification of non-palpable breast cancers, image guidance is critical to support the surgeon in successful breast-conserving surgery. Pre-operative localization procedures are typically performed under mammography guidance or ultrasound guidance, and less commonly under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guidance. This chapter, appearing in the section on interventions and surgical changes, reviews protocols and pitfalls, pre-/peri-/post-procedure clinical management, and imaging follow-up of pre-operative localization procedures. Topics discussed include mammography-guided, ultrasound-guided, and MRI-guided localization procedures. This chapter also introduces the radioactive seed and radiofrequency identification localization procedures and discusses post-operative specimen radiographs.

AbstractOne of the potential application areas for organic and polymers transistors is in radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags. One of the key components of an RFID tag is the front-end rectifier that must rectify a 13.56 MHz AC signal received from a resonant tuned antenna. The rectifier supplies operating power to the tag. Organic transistor circuits have hitherto not operated at this high frequency. We show that by operating pentacene transistors in the non-quasi-static (NQS) regime such operating speeds can be achieved in rectifier circuits. The circuits were fabricated on flexible plastic substrates and employed a solution-cast dielectric. The pentacene mobilities are in the range 0.1-1.5 cm2/V-s. The channel lengths of the transistors are in the range 2-4 μm. Full-wave NQS mode rectifiers were measured to have voltage rectification efficiency in excess of 28% at 14 MHz, demonstrating that such circuits can be used in RFID tags. These circuits operated successfully at speeds up to 20 MHz.

This article presents a review of the CMOS rectifier for radio frequency energy harvesting application. The on-chip rectifier converts the ambient low-power radio frequency signal coming to antenna to useable DC voltage that recharges energy to wireless sensor network (WSN) nodes and radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags, therefore the rectifier is the most important part of the radio frequency energy harvesting system. The impedance matching network maximizes power transfer from antenna to rectifier. The design and comparison between the simulation results of one- and multi-stage differential drive cross connected rectifier (DDCCR) at the operating frequencies of 2.44GHz, and 28GHz show the output voltage of the multi-stage rectifier doubles at each added stage and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of rectifier at 2.44GHz was higher than 28GHz. The (DDCCR) rectifier is the most efficient rectifier topology to date and is used widely for passive WSN nodes and RFID tags.
