Abstract

Ambient backscatter communications system (ABCS) has recently been introduced as a cutting edge technology in which devices communicate in wireless mode by exploiting ambient radio frequency (RF) signals instead of actively generating them. ABCS is a promising technology for Internet of Things (IoT) use cases in which the power efficiency is a major challenge yet to be addressed. ABCS is in its early development stages from theoretical and practical perspectives. In this regard, it is highly important to understand the multi-aspects of the link budget of ABCS. Hence, in this paper we conducted a comprehensive study including measurements in different propagation environment and thorough simulation. The measurements are preformed in sub-1 GHz band and particularly in 590 MHz with the tags designed in the house. The results confirm the match between measurements and the simulations with trivial error.
