Abstract

The presented paper demonstrates how metamaterials with their unique properties and structures derived from metamaterials can offer solutions to overcome technical limitations of passive and chipless wireless sensor and RFID concepts. Basically, the metamaterial approach allows for miniaturization, higher sensitivity, and an extreme geometric flexibility. Miniaturization is certainly important for both, sensing and identification, while higher sensitivity is primarily applicable to sensors. The geometric flexibility is at first important for sensing since it allows for novel sensor concepts. But at least concerning buildup technology, also RFID concepts can benefit from this advantage. The presented examples of metamaterial-inspired passive chipless RFID and wireless sensing can be assigned to the following three categories: metamaterial resonator approaches, composite right/left-handed lines, and frequency-selective surfaces. In this paper, these different concepts are evaluated and discussed with regard to the metamaterial properties. Furthermore, criteria and figures of merit are given, which allow for a fair comparison of passive, chipless concepts and beyond. Finally, these criteria are applied to the presented sensor and identification concepts.
