Résumé
Abstract

Il existe actuellement un intérêt croissant pour le développement de systèmes de communication consommant le moins d’énergie possible, avec l’idée d’éliminer la présence de batteries, qui sont des composants très polluants. C’est pourquoi on étudie de plus en plus les principes de communication RF basés sur la retro-modulation, ou même plus simplement sur la rétrodiffusion d’une onde par un dispositif qui prend la forme d’une étiquette, comme un code-barres. Dans ce dernier cas, il s’agit d’utiliser la signature radar de cette étiquette totalement passive ; la géométrie des éléments imprimés sur celle-ci ayant été spécialement conçue pour remplir les fonctions souhaitées. Ces nouveaux systèmes ne peuvent prétendre faire les mêmes choses que ceux fonctionnant avec une alimentation ou une puce, mais ils peuvent être intéressants pour certaines applications où les distances de lecture ne dépassent pas un mètre. Par rapport aux code-barres, les principaux avantages sont liés à l’utilisation des ondes RF pour communiquer, ce qui permet de lire à travers certains objets opaques à la lumière ou encore de réduire significativement le temps d’acquisition des identifiants en pouvant balayer plus facilement de plus grandes zones de lecture.

There is currently a growing interest in the development of communication systems that consume as little energy as possible, with the idea of eliminating the presence of batteries, which are a very polluting component. This is why the principles of communication based on backscatter modulation, or even more simply on backscattering by a device that takes the form of a label, like a barcode, are being studied more and more. In the latter case, the idea is to use the radar signature of this totally passive label, the geometry of the elements printed on it having been specially designed to perform the desired functions. These new systems cannot claim to do the same things as those working with a power supply or a chip, but they may be of interest for certain applications where the reading distances do not exceed one metre. Compared to barcodes, the main advantages are related to the use of RF waves to communicate, which makes it possible to read through certain objects that are opaque to light, or to significantly reduce the acquisition time of identifiers by being able to scan larger reading areas more easily.
