Smart Hardware for Smart Objects: Microwave Electronic Circuits to Make Objects Smart

Let?s conform electronics to objects! Up to now, the most common approach has been exactly the opposite: the size, weight, and shape of the electronic devices around us have been conformed to the electronics. However, the Internet of Things (IoT) vision will necessarily lead to a paradigm shift, where the electronics need to conform to the objects.
