A chip-less and battery-less subharmonic tag for wireless sensing with parametrically enhanced sensitivity and dynamic range

Abstract Massive deployments of wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) that continuously detect physical, biological or chemical parameters are needed to truly benefit from the unprecedented possibilities opened by the Internet-of-Things (IoT). Just recently, new sensors with higher sensitivities have been de...
