Abstract :
A fully metallic ink-jet printed passive chipless RFID tag on paper substrate is presented. The tag consists of an ultra-wide-band antenna, a microstrip transmission line with distributed shunt capacitors as information coding element which is reconfigurable by ink-jet printing process. Tapered microstrip line is employed to overcome the limitations of low conductivity and thin film thickness of ink-jet printed metal tracks. Measurement results show that the tag features a robust readability over 80 cm reading distance and a high data rate of 1.67 Gb/s.
