The mainstream types of chipless tags are digitally encoded and work at more than one millimetre range, like silicon chips. Their potential markets go beyond the lowest cost-highest volume potential markets because they have other attributes beyond cost.
or red shift. noun, Astronomy. 1. a shift toward longer wavelengths of the spectral lines emitted by a celestial object that is caused by the object moving away from the earth. Compare cosmological redshift, Doppler effect, gravitational redshift. Origin of redshift.
a shift in the lines of the spectrum of an astronomical object towards a longer wavelength (the red end of an optical spectrum), relative to the wavelength of these lines in the terrestrial spectrum, usually as a result of the Doppler effect caused by the recession of the object Compare blueshift.
