Fig. 6: Differential radar cross section and link-budget characterization of the mmID.

a Fabrication of the proof-of-concept gigabit per second data-rate backscatter mmID. b Simulated vs. measured differential RCS of the lens-enabled mmID as a function of angle of incidence for azimuth, elevation and 45∘ angular cuts. c Simulated vs. measured differential RCS of the lens-enabled mmID as a function of angle of incidence from 26--29 GHz. d Received power impinging onto the lens-based mmID with EIRP of 35 dBm and 75 dBm. e Received power vs. range from the lens-based mmID onto the PoC reader with EIRP of 35 dBm and 75 dBm.
