【 摘 要 】

This article presents a 14-bit chipless RFID label which, in addition to classical identification feature, can be used as decimal numeric keypad, allowing the deployment of secure access control applications. A low-cost single layer label comprising 10 RF loop scatterers is used to code information in the frequency domain. In addition, each resonator is associated to a digit in the decimal number system, and the difference in the spectrum caused by the touch event is exploited for the detection of each key pressing. The shape of the resonators has been carefully selected to be both highly resonant and to show high sensitivity to the presence or absence of the human finger. The concept is validated by measurements in an office environment using an FCC compliant low-cost chipless reader and microstrip vivaldi antennas. Simple detection algorithms are proposed for both identification and touch sensing in real environment.
