Research Activities
In the first part of my career, my research activities have been focused on chipless RFID. This technology allows one to reduce the cost of the tags since information can be embedded and transmitted to the reader without using a silicon chip. However, since these tags are Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems [1], their backscattered power are also located in the same bandwidth as the one used by the reader making the reading difficult in non-free space environments. Consequently, significant limitations appears in term of read range, coding capacity and media access control for any chipless tag. In order to break these limitations, my research investigations now cover:
- non-linear (or harmonic) transponders which can backscatter a power at . These transponders are base on a non-linear component (typically a Schottky diode).
- linear time-variant transponders which can backscatter a power around [2]. These transponders can modulate the backscattered signal (classical UHF tags, micro-Doppler or more generally any moving scatterers).
In these two cases, the tags cannot be described by LTI systems and are not bounded by the previous limitations. They are also characterized by a non zero delta RCS [3].
Additional details can be found here.
