“…While S-parameters and RCS are the most commonly used chipless RFID measurement quantities, others such as power, voltage, and electric field have also been measured. This is especially done when custom readers, radars, or software defined radios are used to make the measurements rather than VNAs [60][61][62][63][64][65].…”

An exception to both the frequency range and reading distance trends is reported in [157], where a combination of a 24 GHz Van Atta Array cross-polar tag, bistatic measurement setup, and a high gain transmit antenna with beam scanning capabilities is used to achieve a reading distance of 58 m.…”

“…Read range is often measured or defined based on specific conditions (e.g., measuring in an anechoic chamber or with an antenna with a specific gain). In practice, the reliable reading distance is typically degraded from the read range due to a number of factors, such as polarization mismatch between the tag and reader antenna, reflections from the background environment of the tag, dynamic range of the receiver, and reader antenna performance (e.g., gain, beamwidth/reading zone, and bandwidth) [12,15,61,85,188,237]. In order to increase the read range, the RCS of the tag relative to the background must increase, as simply increasing the transmit power also increases the scattering from the background environment [9,15,16,82].…”

“…The main benefit of using a time-domain reader system is the spreading of the transmitted power over the frequency band of interest with a short single pulse, which provides for high peak power with a low average power. In this way, these systems effectively increase the power of the signal used to interrogate the tag while still being compliant with FCC and ETSI regulations, which theoretically increases the maximum read range of time-domain readers over that of frequency-domain readers for some types of tags [61,82,255,270]. However, the amplitude of the interrogation pulse is not constant over frequency; rather, it takes a gaussian shape.…”

“…For both IR-UWB and CP-FTMW readers, a highperformance high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is needed to sample the signal that is scattered from the tag [61,203,236,254]. To reduce the cost associated with highperformance ADCs in custom solutions, a method that uses multiple ADCs and an equivalent time approach method have been proposed [236,272].…”

Chipless RFID systems can be considered as a special case of passive RFID systems, where the tag contains no power source and no electronics. Instead, the tag's information is stored in its structure and accessed through its electromagnetic (EM) scattering response. However, robust response detection, which is primarily a function of the measurement method, measurement equipment, and processing method used, is still a major challenge in the chipless RFID field. The consequences of not properly capturing a tag response include, incorrectly assigning an ID or incorrectly reporting a sensing parameter. Due to the criticality of these challenges, this review seeks to provide an overview of the current measurement methods, equipment architectures, and processing methods as they relate to chipless RFID tag response detection and decoding. Since chipless RFID started gaining popularity around 2005, the developments in this area have been focused on three major categories: timedomain, frequency-domain, and spatial-domain systems. Frequency-domain systems have emerged as the most popular among these three categories, and thus, this review focuses on techniques used for these systems.

In ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse parameter monitoring, amplitude and pulse width measurements are crucial for detecting and classifying unknown impulse signals. Meanwhile, mass sampling data and the complexity of the current measurement technologies are the limitations of real-time and continuous monitoring. It urges to adopt a simple method that reduces the sampling rate without sacrificing accuracy. This article suggests a novel approach for the monopole UWB by analog signal preprocessing before sampling. A peak detector and integrator are utilized to retain the impulse amplitude and the area inside the impulse for a period, which is the so-called waveform transformation. A low-speed two-channel synchronous ADC samples the output signals from the peak detector and the integrator to determine the amplitude and the area. In the signal process, we demonstrate the concept that pulse width value equals the division of area and amplitude. Due to the distorted amplitude caused by the response time of the peak detector, the relationship between the distorted amplitude, the actual amplitude, and the pulse width is analyzed and examined based on the response function. Finally, the actual amplitude and pulse width are acquired and calculated by solving two equations. In terms of impulse waveform, rectangular and Gaussian waveform factors are developed and applied in the measurement. The proof-of-concept experimental results of a 0.68 V/ 18.8 ns rectangular impulse at a 10 Msps sampling rate is 0.711 V/ 17.00 ns with 4.56 %/ 9.57% relative error, tested and verified.
