Orthogonal Frequency Coding for SAW Device Applications D.C. Malocha1, D. Puccio, and D. Gallagher, Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, 32816-2450 dcm@ece.engr.ucf.edu 1
Orthogonal Frequency Coding (OFC) Introduction • Fixed time length for a chip, , and fixed chip carrier frequency, fC. • Fixed relationship between time length and center frequency or where N = # of carrier cycles per chip. • Relationship between chip time and chip nullbandwidth, NBW: fc/NBWc=2N or Fc/NBWc=2N+1. • There will be multiple chips in a bit.
Orthogonal Frequency Coding (OFC) Six Element Basis Set • Chip length sets the bandwidth; NBW=2/Tc • fc*Tc=N • Null frequencies @ fc1 occur at peak of fc2

Conclusions and Discussion • OFC SAW Technique • a viable way of tagging multi-sensors • inherent processing gain • reduces pulse ambiguity for sensor • inherent security – OFC and PN coding • Implementable in transducers or reflectors • Modeling shows expected results • First SAW sensor embodiment is successful (Puccio, et.al. this symposium)
