“…Such a system is detailed in this section for a magnetically resonant-coupled High-Frequency (HF) RFID system. Another possibility to ensure a dependable operation is to verify the RFID system in its dedicated application environment [141], using sophisticated softwaredefined-radio-based reader devices if necessary [142]. In addition, tests are required to ensure that the reader and the tag -the complete RFID system -follow the existing standards.…”

This paper presents a holistic and authoritative review of the role of microwave technologies in enabling a new generation of wearable devices. A human-centric Internet of Things (IoT) covering remote healthcare, distributed sensing, and consumer electronics, calls for high-performance wearable devices integrated into clothing, which require interdisciplinary research efforts to emerge. Microwaves, the "interconnect" of wireless networks, can enable, rather than solely connect, the next generation of autonomous, sustainable, and wearable-friendly electronics. First, enabling technologies including wireless power transmission and RF energy harvesting, backscattering and passive communication, RFID, and electromagnetic sensing are reviewed. We then discuss the key integration platforms, covering smart fabrics and electronic textiles, additive manufacturing, printed electronics, natively-flexible and organic RF semiconductors, and fully-integrated CMOS systems, where opportunities for hybrid integration are highlighted.

“…Compared with a wired strain sensor, it has better response linearity, sensitivity, and accuracy, and can increase sensitivity according to user requirements. Saxl and his team [ 44 ] worked on the integration of sensors in UHF RFID tags for a variety of different applications. The proposed UHF RFID reader details are shown in Figure 17 a and one of the application’s visualized procedures is shown in Figure 17 b.…”

Strain-based condition evaluation has garnered as a crucial method for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of large-scale engineering structures. The use of traditional wired strain sensors becomes tedious and time-consuming due to their complex wiring operation, more workload, and instrumentation cost to collect sufficient data for condition state evaluation, especially for large-scale engineering structures. The advent of wireless and passive RFID technologies with high efficiency and inexpensive hardware equipment has brought a new era of next-generation intelligent strain monitoring systems for engineering structures. Thus, this study systematically summarizes the recent research progress of cutting-edge RFID strain sensing technologies. Firstly, this study introduces the importance of structural health monitoring and strain sensing. Then, RFID technology is demonstrated including RFID technology’s basic working principle and system component composition. Further, the design and application of various kinds of RFID strain sensors in SHM are presented including passive RFID strain sensing technology, active RFID strain sensing technology, semi-passive RFID strain sensing technology, Ultra High-frequency RFID strain sensing technology, chipless RFID strain sensing technology, and wireless strain sensing based on multi-sensory RFID system, etc., expounding their advantages, disadvantages, and application status. To the authors’ knowledge, the study initially provides a systematic comprehensive review of a suite of RFID strain sensing technology that has been developed in recent years within the context of structural health monitoring.

“…5G systems are also expected to support the IoT with its specific requirements implied by the need to interconnect a multitude of sensors operating on strict energy and latency constraints [28], and SDRs will also be beneficial to the development of IoT networks by enabling rapid prototyping and experimentation. In this direction we note the SDR implementations of time-sensitive IoT networks in [29] and of RF identification (RFID) readers in [30], [31]. In addition, SDR implementations of receivers for the proprietary long range low power (LoRa) modulation technique [32] have recently been presented [33], [34].…”

The commercial success of cellular phone systems during the late 1980s and early 1990 years heralded the wireless revolution that became apparent at the turn of the 21st century and has led the modern society to a highly interconnected world where ubiquitous connectivity and mobility are enabled by powerful wireless terminals. Software defined radio (SDR) technology has played a major role in accelerating the pace at which wireless capabilities have advanced, in particular over the past 15 years, and SDRs are now at the core of modern wireless communication systems. In this paper we give an overview of SDRs that includes a discussion of drivers and technologies that have contributed to their continuous advancement, and presents the theory needed to understand the architecture and operation of current SDRs. We also review the choices for SDR platforms and the programming options that are currently available for SDR research, development, and teaching, and present case studies illustrating SDR use. Our hope is that the paper will be useful as a reference to wireless researchers and developers working in the industry or in academic settings on further advancing and refining the capabilities of wireless systems.
