Invited Technical Talk
by Alessandra Costanzo

Title: Batteryless RF/Microwave Systems
Abstract: In the next future we will be surrounded  in our daily lives by a multitude of small, relatively inexpensive computing devices, equipped with wireless communication and sensing featuring the concept of  “pervasive intelligence”, a basis from which we can envision our future world as an Internet of Everything (IoT/IoE), in terms of both a consumer IoT/IoE and the Industrial IoT. With this scenario in mind, one of the main challenging task is the wireless powering of such ubiquitous devices to allow truly perpetual wireless-powered communication (WPC).

This talk describes the design of  RF architectures for transmitting and receiving front-ends for battery-less scenarios, and shows how multi-domain design approach, combining EM theory and numerical simulation with nonlinear circuit design, can provide reliable system implementaions; some significant applications, such as high precision localization (centimeter-level ) and tracking, adopting UWB communication, and predictive maintenance in machineries and industrial plants scenarios exploiting low-energy communications.
