Abstract

ntennas are one of the key components of all RF wireless communication and radar systems, including RFIDs, as they are responsible for the transmission and reception of free-space or through-barrier weak electromagnetic (EM) signals. The optimal design of antennas for a wideband EM wavefield continues to be an area of important research, one that is rapidly growing in many different fronts. For example, recent interest in the use of meta-materials materials with unusual dielectric properties, for designing the radiation pattern of antennas to reduce the size and cost of wireless components could lead to important antenna breakthroughs for RFID tags.

Time domain convolution associates the output of a linear, time-invariant system, \( y(t)\), to its input, \( x(t)\), and channel impulse response, \( h(t)\), by \( y(t)=x(t)*h(t)=\displaystyle {\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }x(\tau)h(t-\tau)\text{\hspace{0.05em}}\text d\tau\), where \( t\)is a variable for time offset.
