Abstract

One key element of a chipless RFID system is the tag. Since it is chipless, it acts both as the scatterer and encoder. As the scatterer, it needs to reradiate the incident field as much as possible in order to maximize signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the reader. As the encoder, it needs to encode a high density of data on the backscattered signal. There are some challenges in attaining all desired characteristics of the tag as the scatterer and encoder altogether. Although many designs have been proposed as chipless RFID tags, they can be categorized into two general groups [1].
