Printable Multi-Bit Radio Frequency Identification for Banknotes

这个项目将研究一种廉价的射频转发器，这种转发器在纸币上具有条形码的所有优点，实际上，它的操作方式与条形码有些相似。这种类型的转发器可能会取代条形码技术，从而允许在交易链的多个点上自动识别单个钞票。由此产生的钞票认证和其他应用的效率将为澳大利亚带来显著的经济效益。此外，基于基础微波和天线工程的最先进应答器的开发，有望使澳大利亚成为快速增长的RFID市场的领先企业。

This project will investigate inexpensive radio-frequency transponders on banknotes that enjoy all of the advantages of, and, indeed, operate in a manner somewhat similar to barcodes. Transponders of this type may potentially replace barcode technology, thereby allowing automated identification of individual banknotes at multiple points in transaction chains. The resulting efficiencies in banknote authentication and other applications will generate a significant economic benefit for Australia. Additionally, the development of state-of-the-art transponders based on fundamental microwave- and antenna engineering prospectively gives Australia a cutting-edge advantage as a leading player in the fast-growing RFID market.
