Abstract:
The development of Organic Electronics (OE) is promoted by the promise of being ultra-low cost technology in the future. One key application scenario is item level tagging, e.g., smart packaging, where items are equipped with organic printed tags using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology. However, current OE allows the printing of simple tags with ultra-low hardware complexity, but the printing of RFID chips with large numbers of transistors that implement RFID anti-collision protocols are far away from realization. In this paper, we present one sensor-based and fully functional passive RFID tag implementing collective communications a proprietary transmission protocol. Based on OE constraints, we describe the printable passive smart label down to the logic gate layer. Further on, we present an external clock synchronization strategy required by the passive reader system. Additionally, we provide a feasibility assessment towards printing the smart label, and conclude with simulating the proposed reader system.
