Abstract: This communication presents a semipassive radio frequency identification system in the 2.45-GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical band. The transponder (or tag) is based on a modulated frequency selective surface (FSS). The FSS is composed of dipoles loaded with varactor diodes that modulate the radar cross section. The FSS transponder is designed to work for wearable and on-body applications and is used for reading and transmitting information from different sensors placed on the body. Experimental results locating the FSS at different positions in real scenarios and also at different places on the body are provided. Multiple FSSs have been used to explore spatial and polarization diversity techniques in order to mitigate the deep fadings that can happen during communication. Noticeable diversity gain has been obtained in both the cases without using antenna diversity in the reader. Finally, this communication describes a proof-of-concept experiment of the communication where two FSSs send digital data using a frequency shift keying modulation.
