A radar-cross section of a passive tag on dielectric material in an RFID sensor application

This paper is mainly present to a radar-cross section (RCS) of a passive tag in a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor application. To determine qualities of a dielectric material under test (MUT) with a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, a proposed meander-line dipole tag antenna is employed as a RFID sensor. The design and optimum parameters of the proposed RFID sensor are obtained using the CST Microwave Studio program. In this paper, instead of focusing on the scalar backscattered power based on the Friis transmission equation, we are also studying the RCS range equation to utilize for improve the accuracy of determination a qualities of MUT in a RFID sensor system. Simulated results show that the characteristics of the proposed RFID sensor such as the input impedance, antenna gain, power transmission coefficient and RCS.
