Screen printed chipless RFID tags

Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the technology that is used in the daily life. A RFID system consists of RFID tags and readers including many electronic passive and active components. This article deals with design of chipless RFID tags that are screen printed on flexible substrates and do not need any electronic components for their function. There are also presented chipless RFID tag fundamentals and parameters that have an influence on their behavior in the frequency domain. However production of the screen printed chipless RFID tags is cheap and can be used in many applications.
