Sensor-based passive RFID tags have been on the market for just a few years, but according to U.K.-based market-research firm IDTechEx, they have accomplished sufficient growth in niche markets that ...

Those of us who have been close to the radio frequency identification industry for some time have gotten used to hearing that RFID was booming year after year, only to see adoption fail to grow as ...

“We wondered whether we could repurpose RFID tags to do battery-free sensing and tracking,” says Nagarjun Bhat, a Ph.D. student in electrical engineering and lead author of a new study. Data is power.

Our October print edition includes a feature article on modular systems for IC test, and our July issue included a special report on bench and modular instruments for semiconductor test applications.

Traditional sonar and radar use an echo-based approach, and have been amazingly successful in sensing and tracking vehicles and objects under water, through the air, or even in space. The principle is ...
