Abstract :
A new chipless radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag using the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology is presented. The tag can operate at the conventional UHF band for RFID applications and can be implemented using a basic fabrication process. In the presented scheme, MEMS switches are used as programmable elements to support the communication between the tag and RFID interrogators.
