This book provides the essential design techniques for radio systems that
operate at frequencies of 3 MHz to 100 GHZ and which will be employed in
the telecommunication service. We may also call these wireless systems,
wireless being synonymous with radio, Telecommunications is a vibrant indus-
try, particularly on the ‘‘radio side of the house.’’ The major supporter of this
upsurge in radio has been the IEEE and its 802 committees. We now devote
? . an entire chapter to wireless LANs WLANs detailed in IEEE 802.11. We
also now have subsections on IEEE 802.15, 802.16, 802.20 and the wireless
? . ? metropolitan area network WMAN . WiFi, WiMax,, and UWB ultra wide-
. band are described where these comparatively new radio specialties are
demonstrating spectacular growth.
One of the prerequisites for the development of telecommunication services is the
understanding of the propagation of the waves, either acoustic, electromagnetic,
radio or light waves, which are used for the transmission of information.
In this work, we shall limit ourselves to the study of radio waves: this term
apply to the electromagnetic waves used in radio communications. Their
frequency spectrum is very broad, and is divided into the following frequency
bands : ELF waves (f < 3 kHz), VLF (3-30 kHz), LF waves (30-300 kHz), MF
waves (300-3000 kHz), HF (3-30 MHz), VHF waves (30-300 MHz), UHF waves
(300-3000 MHz), SHF waves (3-30 GHZ), EHF waves (30-300 GHZ) and sub-
EHF waves (300-3000 GHZ).
The author’s group has developed various chipless RFID tags and reader architectures
at 2.45, 4–8, 24, and 60 GHZ. These results were published extensively in the form of
books, book chapters, refereed conference and journal articles, and finally, as patent
applications. However, there is still room for improvement of chipless RFID sys-
tems. In this book, we proposed advanced techniques of chipless RFID systems that
supersede their predecessors in signal processing, tag design, and reader architecture.
