Summary:

Chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to conventional automated identification systems like RFID, QR codes, and barcodes. Simultaneously, it enables a wide array of novel applications, including recycling, structural health monitoring, and food safety, among many others. In this handbook, the authors provide an in-depth exploration of the design, manufacturing, and implementation guidelines of chipless RFID systems, including information encoding in chipless tags, the design of radar-based ultra-wideband (UWB) readers and antennas, as well as dedicated signal processing in time- and frequency-domain. This book is not only a practical resource for understanding the core principles and capabilities of chipless RFID, but also a rich source of expert knowledge for those wishing to deepen their understanding or explore particular applications. With real-world examples and detailed guidelines, the Chipless RFID Handbook serves as both a beginner-friendly introduction and an advanced reference on this emerging technology. Presents a comprehensive, all-in-one resource on the existing literature and latest advancements in chipless RFID technology; Provides essential background theory to understand the fundamentals of various types of chipless RFID systems; Includes practical design and manufacturing guidelines for developing every component of a chipless RFID system— from tags and readers to signal processing— for real-world applications.
