Description


Fueled by the recent interest in the Internet of Things, an increasing demand for tagged devices capable of giving real time information beyond simple identification is paving the way for the fourth industrial revolution.

This book presents the latest studies on the non-linear phenomena present during RFID communication using passive tags. The exploitation of the RFID chip non-linearities is considered and experimentally demonstrated through two new applications: the harmonic communication by way of a new communication channel from tag to reader at the third harmonic, and a new approach dedicated to energy harvesting for sensor powering.

The topics detailed in this book include the design and experimental validation of augmented RFID tags, characterization methodologies and modeling of the non-linear behavior of tags from an applied point of view. The authors discuss the different concepts in-depth and pave the way for new industrial applications and developments, as well as research into applied fields of RFID.
