The coding method of SAW RFID tags in this paper uses Mixed-POFC with multi-track chip arrangements. The cross-correlation and auto correlation of Mixed-POFC and POFC are calculated to demonstrate the reduced overlap between the adjacent center frequencies with the Mixed-POFC method. The center frequency of the IDT and Bragg reflectors is calculated by a coupling of modes (COM) module. The combination of the calculation results of the Bragg reflectors shows that compared with a 7-chip POFC, the coding number of a 7-chip Mixed-POFC is increased from 120 to 144 with the same fractional bandwidth of 12%. To demonstrate the validity of Mixed-POFC, finite element analysis (FEA) technology is used to analyze the frequency characteristics of Mixed-POFC chips. The maximum error between designed frequencies and simulation frequencies is only 1.7%, which verifies that the Mixed-POFC method is feasible.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Mixed Pseudo-orthogonal Frequency Coding for SAW RFID Tags}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/109201/PDF/aoa.2018.125161.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aoa.2018.125161}, keywords={SAW RFID tag, OFC, POFC, Mixed-POFC, COMSOL}, }
