Esta nova etiqueta poderá ser capaz de operar em duas bandas de frequências diferentes para a transmissão da informação binária, aproveitando a utilização em sua concepção de antenas dual-band. A técnica aqui mencionada é clássica, conhecida como diversidade de frequência, mas é utilizada neste trabalho pela primeira vez aplicada em etiquetas chipless de RFID visando aumentar a confiabilidade da comunicação com as leitoras de RFID. Simulações realizadas do novo dispositivo proposto com o software HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) mostraram o seu desempenho adequado. A metodologia do projeto é apresentada passo a passo e os resultados são analisados e discutidos no texto / Abstract: The project and the theoretical-experimental analysis of a new chipless RFID tag with redundant communication is presented. This new tag may be capable to operate in two different frequencies bands for the transmission of binary information, taking advantage of the use in its design of dual-band antennas. The technique mentioned here is classic, known as frequency diversity, but it is used in this work for the first time applied in chipless RFID tags to increase the reliability of the communication with the RFID readers. Simulations of the proposed new device with HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) software showed an adequate performance. The project methodology is presented step by step and the results are analyzed and discussed in the text / Mestrado / Tecnologia e Inovação / Mestre em Tecnologia

An ID generating circuit is unquestionably the core of a chipless RFID tag. For convenience of printing process and cost consideration, the circuit should be kept as simple as possible. Based on the cognition, an 8-bit time-domain based ID generating circuit that merely consists of a ML and eight capacitors was offered, and implemented on photo-paper substrates via inkjet printing process. In addition to the experimental measurements, the circuit was also input into circuit simulators for cross-validation. The good agreement between simulations and measurements is observed, exhibiting the tag technical feasibility. Besides of low cost, the tag has wide compatibility with current licensed RFID spectrum, which will facilitate the future deployment in real applications. Compared   to  time-domain   based  chipless   tags,  frequency   signatures   based chipless RFID tags are expected to offer a larger coding capacity. As a response, we presented a 10-bit frequency-domain based chipless RFID tag. The tag composed of ten configurable LC resonators was implemented on flexible polyimide substrate by using  fast  toner-transferring  process.  Field  measurements  revealed  not  only  the practicability  of  the  tag,  but  also  the  high  signal  to  noise  ratio  (SNR).  Another frequency domain tag consists of a configurable coplanar LC resonator. With the use of all printing process, the tag was for the first time realized on common packaging papers.  The tag feasibility was confirmed by subsequent measurements. Owing to the ultra-low cost potential and large SNR, The tag may find wide applications in typical RFID solutions such as management of paper tickets for social events and governing of smart documents. Ultra wide band (UWB) technology possesses a number of inherent merits such as high speed communication and large capacity, multi-path immunity, accurate ranging and positioning, penetration through obstacles, as well as extremely low-cost and low- power transmitters. Thus, passive UWB RFIDs are expected to play an important pole in  the future identification applications for IoT. We explained the feature difference between  UWB  chipless  tags  and  chip  based  tags,  and  forecasted  the  applications respectively  based on the comparison  between the two technologies.  It is expected that the two technologies will coexist and compensate each other in the applications of IoT. Lastly, the thesis ends up with brief summary of the author’s contributions, and technical prospect for the future development of printable chipless RFID tags. / <p>QC 20140304</p>
