Foreword
Radio frequency identification (RFID) has been experiencing tremendous growth for the last two decades. In recent years, adoption of RFID into the mainstream identification and tagging systems has been accelerated due to the patronisation of the largest retail chains such as Wal-Mart of USA, K-Mart and Myer in Australia and the US Department of Defence. According to IDTechEx, the market volume of RFID exceeded $5 billion in 2009, and it is estimated that it will surpass $25 billion in 2018. RFID has numerous applications in tracking items, supply chain management and logistics, and original part manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. RFID has huge potential applications in many areas due to its flexibility, capability to operate non-line of sight and high data carrying capacity. However, RFID could not be exploited in its full potentials in low-cost item tagging. The reasons are: (a) the end users are not adequately learned of the technology. They are too concerned about their return on investment; and (b) the price of an RFID tag is too high compared to that for an optical barcode. The application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chip in the conventional tags makes the tag expensive. This bottleneck has hindered deployment of RFIDs in low-cost item tagging. In recent years, a few research groups have been working on chipless RFID tags. The chipless RFID tags do not contain any ASIC, hence can be printed on the items to be tagged. This book presents the chi
