The Chipless RFID Handbook is a comprehensive, all-in-one resource on chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology—an innovative, cost-effective alternative to conventional automated identification technologies like RFID, QR codes, and barcodes. In this comprehensive guide, the authors introduce chipless RFID as a breakthrough solution that leverages ultra-wideband (UWB) signals, enabling battery-free, low-cost tags to transmit data through backscattering to radar-based readers. This technology opens the door to a wide array of novel applications, including recycling, structural health monitoring, and food safety, among many others.

The handbook provides an in-depth exploration of the design, manufacturing, and implementation of chipless RFID systems. Whether you're an engineering student, a newcomer to the field, or an industry professional, this book offers invaluable insights into developing both complete and partial systems for specific identification and sensing applications.

This book is not only a practical resource for understanding the core principles and capabilities of chipless RFID, but also a rich source of expert knowledge for those wishing to deepen their understanding or explore particular applications. With real-world examples and detailed guidelines, the Chipless RFID Handbook serves as both a beginner-friendly introduction and an advanced reference on this emerging technology.
