Abstract
This chapter focuses on the design of three generations of chipless RFID tag reader transceivers. The Gen-1 and Gen-2 transceiveres operate between 2 and 2.5 GHz and are designed to read the 6-bit proof-of-concept chipless tag. However, the Gen-1 reader only has amplitude detection capability, while the Gen-2 reader has amplitude and phase detection capabilities. Finally, the third transceiver is developed to operate in the UWB frequency range between 5 and 10.7 GHz so it can detect a UWB chipless tag. The specifications, design and measurements of the transmitter and receiver chains are presented along with the overall power consumptions of each transceiver.
