Curved meander line resonators for chipless RFID sensors

This paper presents a chipless RFID sensor based on the curved meander line resonator. The sensor is designed and printed on Fr4-substrate with thickness of 0.8 mm. The resonator on the RFID sensor acts as a data bit for identification, where we use only one bit in this paper for illustration. Transmitting and receiving antennas on the RFID sensor are properly designed to sense the dielectric property of the material under test. From the results, it can operate from 1.8-2.5 GHz. The gain is 2.14 dBi at the resonant frequency of 2.28 GHz. Therefore, it can be candidate as a RFID sensor with a nondestructive testing technique.
