    Mohammadali Forouzandeh received the B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, in 2002, and the M.Sc. degree in Telecommunication – Fields and Waves – from IUST, Tehran, Iran in 2006. He was involved in a key number of R & D and industrial projects for more than 10 years. He joined Department of ECSE Monash University, Clayton, Australia, in 2014 where he is currently working toward his Ph.D. program. His research interests are High-speed digital systems, Microwave engineering, UWB radars, and RFID systems.
    Dr., Nemai Chandra Karmakar graduated with B.Sc. (EEE) and M.Sc. (EEE) from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in 1987 and 1989, respectively, and MSc in EE from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada in 1992, Ph.D. in ITEE from the University of Queensland in 1999, PGDipTHE from Nanyang Technological University in 2001 and MHEd from Griffith University in 2007. He worked as a microwave design engineer at Mitec Ltd., Brisbane from 1992 to 1995 and contributed significantly to the development of Australian Optus Mobilesat smart antennas. He taught senior level courses in electronics, radar, microwave active and passive design and antennas at QUT, NTU, and Monash University. He has been working with many industry partners on various collaborative research projects on fully printable chipless RFID tags and sensors for ubiquitous tagging and sensing, wireless power transmission, microwave biomedical imaging and devices, smart antennas for mobile satellite communications and diagnostics of faulty power equipment. He has nine patent applications in chipless RFID and sensors, edited and authored eight books and about 300 refereed journal, conference, and workshop publications. A/P Karmakar is a graduate member of IEAust and a senior member of IEEE

  • In the past few years Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has grown to be one of the most popular technologies in the area of identification systems. Following a brief survey of RFID systems, this paper provides a technical review of work undertaken in the field of time-domain chipless RFID tags and sensors. This paper aims not only to address the chipless tags which use Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) concept for data encoding but also for the use of Ultra-Wideband Impulse-Radar (UWB-IR) as a time-domain measurement technique. The penultimate section intends to focus on time-domain reading setups and finally, a brief comparison between this method and other chipless techniques is provided.

Abstract: In the past few years Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has grown to be one of the most popular technologies in the area of identification systems. Following a brief survey of RFID systems, this paper provides a technical review of work undertaken in the field of time-domain chipless RFID tags and sensors. This paper aims not only to address the chipless tags which use Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) concept for data encoding but also for the use of Ultra-Wideband Impulse-Radar (UWB-IR) as a time-domain measurement technique. The penultimate section intends to focus on time-domain reading setups and finally, a brief comparison between this method and other chipless techniques is provided.
