Description
Book SynopsisUnderstand the fundamental principles and applications of ambient backscatter technology with this authoritative review. Covering both theory and practical engineering, leading researchers describe and explain hardware design, network design, and signal processing, and discuss architectures, protocols, communication methods, open research issues, emerging applications, and advanced system models with innovative solutions. This is an essential tool for graduate students, researchers, engineers, developers, and entrepreneurs.
Trade Review'Wonderfully enlightening … conceived by some of the pioneers of back-scattering aided communications (and) offers a gracefully evolving story-line by bridging the challenging aspects of cutting-edge theory and practical circuit design, paving the way for 'always-on' wireless systems.' Lajos Hanzo, University of Southampton
'The text is well written, and abundant graphs, diagrams, and tables explain a variety of approaches to ambient backscatter techniques and provide plentiful references to the literature. The book will be an essential resource for anyone interested in this method of implementing IoT technology, which may be expected to grow more important in the future … Highly recommended.' K. D. Stephan, Choice
