摘要

In order to increase the encoding capacity and reduce the size of the tag, this paper proposes the frequency sharing method to design a retransmitted chipless tag, which is composed of N resonators, a coupled microstrip transmission line, and the orthogonal transmitting antenna and receiving antenna. A pair of the same size resonators is placed symmetrically on both sides of the coupled microstrip transmission line. M open-ended stubs (OES) with different combinations are embedded in each resonator to obtain different resonance frequencies. The frequency sharing multi-state resonators’ chipless tags are designed where N=6, M=4, and the dimension of the tag is 46 mm × 30 mm, which can generate about 212 codes. Simulation and measurement results show good agreement and feasibility of the tag design. The chipless tag is small in size, has large encoding capacity and is easy to print. This kind of tag has no silicon chip so the cost is low. It can be widely used in logistics, supermarkets and other fields to replace the barcode.
