For applications that require large numbers of wireless sensors spread in a field, backscatter radio can be utilized to minimize the monetary and energy cost of each sensor. Commercial backscatter systems such as those in radio frequency identification (RFID), utilize modulation designed for the bandwidth limited regime, and require medium access control (MAC) protocols for multiple access. High tag/sensor...
This work examines the idea of dislocating the carrier transmission from the tag-modulated carrier reception, i.e. bi-static rather than mono-static backscatter radio. In that way, more than one carrier transmitters can be distributed in a given geographical area and illuminate a set of RF tags/sensors that modulate and scatter the received carrier towards a single software-defined receiver. The increased...
In this work, a tag-load selection methodology is proposed for optimized tag-to-reader backscatter communication. Derivation of the method is based on antenna/communication theory and applies to any tag-antenna, including minimum scattering antennas as a special case. In contrast to what is commonly believed, it is shown that amplitude maximization of complex reflection coefficient difference between...
This paper studies tag properties for optimized tag-to-reader backscatter communication. The latter is exploited in RF identification (RFID) systems and utilizes binary reflection coefficient change of the tag antenna-load circuit. It is shown that amplitude maximization of complex reflection coefficient difference between the two states is not sufficient for optimized tag-to-reader backscatter communication,...
