RFID array sensing

In this paper the use of RFID tags for the measurement of physical parameters in a distributed set of points is presented. Experimental results for two different scenarios are presented; the first uses a 2D RFID array to measure the field distribution of a radiating aperture, while the second detects the change in the close environment of an array of RFID tags to determine the water level of a container.
