Abstract :
Harmonic transponders used nowadays for tracking small insects impede and obstruct their movements due to their large size and weight. The paper presents millimetre wave band unbiased harmonic transponder. It comprises of separate transmit and receive microstrip patch antennas and unbiased Schottky diode doubler. The transponder is conformal, miniaturized and suitable for short range insect tracking.
