Abstract

This paper proposes a printable chipless tag that encodes more bits than a conventional tag, and also a dual circularly polarized (CP) reader that achieves high isolation with insensitive orientation. To demonstrate this concept, a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag of 13mm×13mm is designed to encode 5 bits covering 6 - 9 GHz. This tag is investigated and measured with dual- CP backscattering characteristics for the first time. The versatile dual-CP reader, along with this tag which is feasible to print on other flexible substrate including papers, clothes and plastics, are promising to benefit the Internet of Things (IoT).
