This article presents a 100-GHz system-on-chip frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar for low-cost drywall inspection. The radar operates at the second harmonic and is implemented in 110-nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) with {f}_{\text {max}} = 82 GHz, significantly lowering the fabrication cost. On the transmitter (TX) side, a double negative resistance technique is...Show More
This study describes a chipless Radiofrequency Identification (RFID) tag that is based on the Hilbert Curve Filling technique. The traditional RFID has some security vulnerabilities, so an unauthorized party could obtain information. One alternative is to use fractal (irregular) shaped tags to store information as an electromagnetic signature. It is a chipless passive tag made of irregular unit ce...Show More
