Design of a novel, Battery-less, Solar Powered Wireless Tag for enhanced range remote tracking applications

In this paper, we present the first ever wireless “Battery-less Solar Powered Wireless Tag” that can also communicate with wireless sensor networks for the first time reported. This RFID is based on the hardware/software codesign of five different technologies, and could set the foundation of ubiquitous ultra-low-cost RFID networks and the first generation of “green” RF electronics offering truly cognitive intelligence.
