The Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform

The Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP) is a battery-free, UHF RFID-compatible sensing and computing platform that is powered and read by commercial off-the-shelf UHF RFID readers. WISPs are being used in a variety of domains, including both sensing and security. This chapter presents the design of the WISP platform, characterization of its performance, and describes several application examples.
