“smart house” and “smart-energy” applications of low-power RFID-based wireless sensors

This talk will present a number of different approaches to deploying low power autonomous wireless sensors in a variety of applications. The approaches presented involve chipless RFID based temperature sensors, energy harvesting techniques in semi-passive RFID sensor, and carbon nanotube (CNT) based wireless gas and pressure sensors. These sensors operate at a wide range of frequencies, and exhibit different characteristics which are suited to their application areas.
