Abstract

This paper investigates, for the first time, the feasibility of harmonic tag sensors based on orthogonally polarized waves. The main tag building blocks (circular and dual polarization antennas, Schottky diode frequency doubler and phase shifter) are designed, implemented with standard PCBs technology and materials, and experimentally characterized. Finally a proof-of-concept of the whole system operating at 1.04/2.08 GHz is proposed and validated in laboratory. The system can recover the encoded phase regardless the interrogation distance.
