Emerging Backscattering Technologies for Wireless Sensing in Harsh Environments: Unlocking the Potential of RFID-based Backscattering for Reliable Wireless Sensing in Challenging Environments

Electronics is adapting to the implementation of smart objects to be used in daily life, fostering the evolution of information and communication technology toward the Internet of Things (IoT). With the development of increasingly efficient wireless sensor networks (WSNs) with a reduced form factor, everyday objects are able to acquire information, exchange data, and even make decisions, thus bringing benefits to all aspects of daily life
