Advances in the design of smart, multi-function, RFID-enabled devices

This work presents the progress in the design of smart, multi-function, RFID-enabled devices at the Electromagnetic Lab Lecce. Specifically, the preliminary prototypes of SPARTACUS and RAMSES, which are the two UHF RFID tags with augmented capabilities introduced in our earlier works, have been significantly improved in terms of compactness, sensing, computation, and antenna design. The achieved operating ranges and sensing performance are the main strengths making the two devices definitely suitable for a wide array of applications.
