[IEEE 2018 International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC) - Ottawa, ON, Canada (2018.8.7-2018.8.9)] 2018 International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC) - Circularly Polarized Microstrip Antenna on Ultrathin PET Substrate for UHF RFID Applications
摘要： Design of a circularly polarized microstrip patch antenna on an ultrathin PET substrate of 125 μm thickness is proposed for RFID applications. Screen-printed silver coating of 25 μm thickness serves as the antenna metallization. Improved feed-design and systematic optimization of the antenna overcomes the intrinsic constrains of designing microstrip antennas on extremely thin substrate. Optimally designed feed excites a nearly square patch antenna with truncated corners to achieve good impedance and radiation characteristics. The proposed antenna exhibiting 48 MHz impedance bandwidth (896 MHz to 944 MHz) and a 16 MHz AR bandwidth (907-923 MHz), can serve as a potential candidate as a low cost UHF reader antenna for RFID applications.

摘要： In this paper, a novel widely linear minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE) anti-collision receiver for passive ultra high frequency (UHF) multi-antenna radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems is proposed. By establishing that real-world tag signals are essentially noncircular in the complex filed, the proposed widely linear estimator is proven to have better performance in recovering data from collision when compared with its linear counterpart. Simulations on tags in conflicting response is conducted, justifying the performance advantages of the proposed receiver over the conventional linear one.

Spatial-Based Chipless RFID System
摘要： Conventional techniques in chipless RFID systems are incapable of fully overcoming the key challenges of modern identification applications, including high data capacity, low tag cost and reliable operation. The idea of electromagnetic (EM) imaging in chipless RFID systems is a promising technique that shows many advantages over other conventional approaches. This paper reviews conventional chipless RFID technology and provides a comprehensive analysis of advanced millimeter wave spatial-based (also known as image-based) chipless RFID systems with an optimized MIMO-SAR technique for high-resolution image acquisition and a quick reading process.

Low-cost, Inkjet-printed UHF RFID Tag based System for Internet of Things Applications using Characteristic Modes
摘要： The radio frequency identification (RFID) has emerged Internet of things (IoT) into the identification of things. This paper presents, a low-cost smart refrigerator system for future internet of things applications. The proposed smart refrigerator is used for automatic billing and restoring of beverage metallic cans. The metallic cans can be restored by generating a product shortage alert message to a nearby retailer. To design a low-cost and low-profile tag antenna for metallic items is very challenging, especially when mass production is required for item-level tagging. Therefore, a novel ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna is designed for metallic cans by exploiting the metallic structure as the main radiator. Applying Characteristics mode analysis (CMA), we observed that some characteristic modes associated with the metallic structure could be exploited to radiate more effectively by placing a suitable inductive load. Moreover, a low cost, printed (using conductive ink) small loop integrated with meandered dipole used as an inductive load, which was also connected with RFID chip. The 3-dB bandwidth of the proposed tag covers the whole UHF band ranging from 860 - 960 MHz when embedded with metal cans. The measured read range of the RFID tag is more than 2.5 meters in all directions to check the robustness of the proposed solution. To prove the concept, a case study was performed by placing the tagged metallic cans inside a refrigerator for automatic billing, 97.5 % tags are read and billed successfully. This study paves the way for tagging metallic bodies for tracking applications in domains ranging from consumer devices to infotainment solutions, which enlightens a vital aspect for the Internet of Things (IoT).

摘要： Recently, structural health monitoring (SHM) using radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antenna-based sensing (TABS) has received increasing attention because of its wireless, passive, and low-cost characteristics. However, a great challenge in the SHM using RFID TABS is multiple influences in the measurement. This paper presents an ultrahigh frequency RFID sensor system for corrosion detection and characterization. In this paper, a 3-D antenna sensor is designed to work on the surface of a protective coated steel sample. Sweep-frequency measurements are applied for analog identifier with principal component analysis (PCA) to overcome the multiple influences from reader-tag orientation, distance, and environment. Feature extraction and selection though PCA can get robust and sensitive defect information by projecting the test data into an orthogonal feature space. The test results demonstrate that the proposed method can be applied to detect and characterize early-stage corrosion in metals.

Four-PAM Modulation of Ambient FM Backscattering for Spectrally Efficient Low-Power Applications
摘要： Ambient backscatter uses radio frequency signals available in the environment (e.g., radio broadcasting, television, or mobile telephony) to transmit data effectively leading to significant energy and cost efficiency increase. This paper presents a novel wireless tag, which for the first time utilizes 4-pulse amplitude modulation technique to modulate the ambient backscattered FM signals in order to send data to a nearby low-cost software defined radio reader. The tag is based on an RF front-end that uses a single transistor controlled by an ultralow-power microcontroller. The microcontroller includes an analog-to-digital converter for sensing and a digital-to-analog converter for RF front-end control. A proof-of-concept prototype is demonstrated in an indoor environment with the low bit rate of 345 b/s and power consumption 27 μW. It operated using a real FM station at 34.5 km away and the tag-to-reader distance was tested at 1 m. The value of energy spent in this modulator was 78.2 nJ/bit at 345 b/s and 27.7 nJ/bit at 10.2 kb/s.

Directly Printable Frequency Signature Chipless RFID Tag for IoT Applications
摘要： This paper proposes a low-cost, compact, flexible passive chipless RFID tag that has been designed and analyzed. The tag is a bowtie-shaped resonator based structure with 36 slots; where each patch is loaded with 18 slots. The tag is set in a way that each slot in a patch corresponds to a metal gap in the other patch. Hence there is no mutual interference, and high data capacity of 36 bits is achieved in such compact size. Each slot corresponds to a resonance frequency in the RCS curve, and each resonance corresponds to a bit. The tag has been realized for Taconic TLX-0, PET, and Kapton?HN (DuPontTM) substrates with copper, aluminum, and silver nanoparticle-based ink (Cabot CCI-300) as conducting materials. The tag exhibits flexibility and well optimized while remaining in a compact size. The proposed tag yields 36 bits in a tag dimension of 24.5 × 25.5 mm2. These 36 bits can tag 236 number of objects/items. The ultimate high capacity, compact size, flexible passive chipless RFID tag can be arrayed in various industrial and IoT-based applications.

Compact Scalable Modeling of Chipless RFID Tag Based on High-Impedance Surface
摘要： This paper proposes a compact model for chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. This compact scalable model consists of capacitors, inductors, and resistors of which their values are directly described by the physical dimension of the chipless tag. Moreover, based on this compact model, radar cross section of chipless RFID tag is predicted, by analyzing polarizability based on surface current distribution in different modes. To validate the proposed model, a 5-bit chipless RFID tag based on high-impedance surface (HIS) is presented, with good agreement among modeled, simulated, and measured results. A wide range of physical parameters have also been validated to show the scalability. This compact scalable model of chipless RFID tag not only simplifies the tag design, but also provides an insight understanding of the HIS structure.

Low-Cost Compact Circularly Polarized Dual-Layer PIFA for Active RFID Reader
摘要： This communication presents a novel single-fed compact circularly polarized (CP) dual-layer planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA). The proposed antenna is composed of two stacked orthogonal-orientated PIFAs which can be fabricated by elaborately folding one piece of metal plate. And the two PIFAs can be excited synchronously with equally allocated power by a single probe, thus a pair of orthogonal polarizations is created. Moreover, the resonant lengths of the upper and lower PIFAs are slightly different from each other to acquire 90° phase shift between the two orthogonal polarizations. Consequently, a right hand circularly polarized radiation is achieved, and the boresight realized gain is 3.8 dBic at the center frequency. The proposed dual-layer PIFA with two quarter-wavelength resonators provides a novel solution for the compactness of CP antennas. To validate the performance of the antenna, a prototype was fabricated and measured. The measured -10 dB impedance bandwidth and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth are 7.4% and 1.1%, respectively, with a compact antenna volume of 0.26 × 0.22 × 0.05 λ0 3. The proposed antenna is a good candidate for the 433 MHz CP active Radio Frequency Identification reader, and it has the merits of compact size, light weight, high efficiency and low-cost.
