Wireless Sensing and Identification of Passive Electromagnetic Sensors based on Millimetre-wave FMCW RADAR

Abstract

International audienceThe wireless measurement of various physical quantities from the analysis of the RADAR Cross Sections variability of passive electromagnetic sensors is presented. A millimetre-wave Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave RADAR is used for both remote sensing and wireless identification of sensors. Long reading ranges (up to some decameters) may be reached at the expense of poor measurement resolution (typically 10%)
