In radio-frequency-identification (RFID) systems, chipless tags, i.e., tags without microchips, are desirable in comparison to their more common counterparts involving microchips. This is not merely due to the extra costs of microchips but also due to relatively difficult mounting processes to attach microchips onto metallic antennas, which in fact becomes challenging if tags are produced via inkjet printing methods. In the context of paper-based inkjet printing, absence of microchips is also attractive for green technology, since tags that contain only paper and metallic prints may be easier to recycle. On the other hand, the resulting RFID systems need to operate in a range of frequencies (rather than operating at a single frequency) in order to encode bits based on frequency-dependent responses of tag structures. In addition, one must consider potential difficulties in accurate and reliable identification, especially due to typically low signal levels. These difficulties, together with other constraints, such as compactness and being easy to fabricate, make it an essential task to design suitable tag geometries for chipless RFID systems.

Improved Fonts for Chipless Radio-Frequency-Identification Tags Based on Letters Mutlu, Feza; Demir, Mehmet Alper; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-11-02) Using embedded microchips on radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags requires difficult mounting processes and increases the tag price. Therefore, chipless RFID tags have been introduced in the literature. In this paper, an improved series of chipless RFID letter-type tags are introduced. Each letter has unique characteristics that can be identified clearly, thanks to the well-designed slits opened to improve its electromagnetic response without sacrificing legibility. Simulations are realized for 150-po...
Comparison of 3d facial anchor point localization methods Yağcıoğlu, Mustafa; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Human identification systems are commonly used for security issues. Most of them are based on ID card. However, using an ID card for identification may not be safe enough since people may not have any protection against the theft. Another solution to the identification problem is to use iris or fingerprints. However, systems based on the iris or fingerprints need close interaction to identification machine. Identifying someone from his photograph overcomes all these problems which can be called as face reco...
Numerical Study of Chipless Tags for Radio-Frequency-Identification (RFID) Applications Cetin, Elif; ŞAHİN, MELİN; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2019-01-01) We present a numerical investigation of effective chipless tags for radio-frequency-identification (RFID) applications. Chipless tags have been introduced recently as alternatives to standard tags with microchips. While they can significantly reduce the overall cost of RFID systems by eliminating microchips and procedures to mount them on tags, chipless tags bring new challenges, especially in terms of identification reliability. We focus on tag structures that consist of resonators and consider alternative...
Analysis of methods for finger vein recognition Yousefi, Fariba; Kalkan, Sinan; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Medical Informatics (2013) A decade ago, it was observed that every person has unique finger-vein patterns and that this could be used for biometric identification. This observation has led to successful identification systems, which are currently used in banks, hospitals, state organizations, etc. For the feature extraction step of the finger-vein recognition, which is the most important step, popular methods such as Line Tracking (LT), Maximum Curvature (MC) and Wide Line Detector (WL) are used in the literature. Among these, the L...
Design, simulation, and fabrication of low-cost chipless rfid tags Çetin, Elif; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this thesis, low-cost chipless radio-frequency-identification (RFID) tags are investigated. These types of tags are proposed and developed to replace barcodes in item-level tagging. In addition to the standard methods using printed circuit boards (PCBs), chipless RFID tags are suitable to be fabricated via low-cost inkjet printing. In these low-cost fabrications, tags are printed on photopapers via commercial inkjet printers loaded with silver-based inks. Various tag designs are simulated via the multile...
