We propose a two-way backscatter tag that uses a reflection amplifier. The reflection gain S11 is used to modulate the backscatter signal while the forward gain S21 is fixed. The circuit is analyzed and designed to operate at 2.45 GHz with bandwidth of 120 MHz. Measurements show that we can have S11 = ?20 dB and -20 dB to implement on/off keying (OOK) backscatter modulation scheme, while S21 ?= 15 dB.
