Chipless RFID Sensing for Dielectric Property of Light Weight Concrete

This paper presents a passive chipless RFID tag (Electromagnetic sensor) based on the modified printed monopole antenna with a frequency filter technique. The proposed chipless RFID sensor is the wireless sensor technology with the nondestructive technique (NDT) testing. This proposed RFID tag is designed to obtain both determination and identification (ID) properties for a sensor application. To determine the dielectric constant of MUT under test, the circular monopole tag antenna is modified using adding the elliptical shape to achieve the wideband operating frequency. Moreover, this sensor is used the stripline frequency filter technique to obtain the 1-bit ID at the frequency of 2.77 GHz. The CST Microwave Studio simulator program uses to design and optimize the passive chipless RFID parameters. Simulated results show the proposed chipless RFID sensor can identify and determine the dielectric property of the LWC under test.
