Could battery-less scatter radio tags achieve 270-meter range?Could battery-less scatter radio tags achieve 270-meter range? Πλήρης Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Full Paper 2018-10-102016enThis paper studies whether increased ranges of bistatic scatter radio communication are possible, especially when low-cost, embedded receivers, originally designed for conventional radio (and not for scatter radio) are employed. Wireless power transmission and bistatic scatter radio are closely related, and thus, this work aims to highlight a new exciting, potentially interesting, key-enabling research direction. It is found that for 13 dBm emitter transmission power, 246 meters scatter radio tag-to-reader distance is possible, with packet error rate (PER) less than 1%, while 268 meters are possible at the expense of increased PER, in the order of 10%.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference2016 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference Vougioukas Georgios Βουγιουκας Γεωργιος Daskalakis Spyridon-Nektarios Δασκαλακης Σπυριδων-Νεκταριος Bletsas Aggelos Μπλετσας Αγγελος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Radio frequency Receivers Frequency shift keying Backscatter Wireless sensor networks Antennas
