When an implanted medical prosthesis is equipped with a local wireless sensor, an early-onset identification of possible infections could be achieved. This paper proposes a method to transform a metallic dental implant into an antenna integrating a temperature UHF RFID sensor. A sensorized add-on disk, fully embedded in the dental implant’s crown, collects the external interrogating electromagnetic field and transforms the implant itself into a top-excited dipole. After simulations, a preliminary prototype of the resulting Cyber-Tooth is experimented with a near-filed interrogation by means of an on-cheek antenna. Results are promising for the establishment of a robust backscattering link, as a good margin in the link budget is achievable with further improvements in the tuning of the disk harvester.","PeriodicalId":212607,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130881911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Backscatter devices (BDs) modulate their useful information on the incoming ambient signal emitted by the TX, as such their range is usually a very short event when only one BD is considered. This paper aims to analyze the impact of the interference generated due to the presence of another BD in a bi-static backscatter communication system. It is observed from the simulation results that the received signal degradation is mostly due to the cross interference of the other BD, which can be mitigated using successive interference cancellation (SIC) techniques. The level of both cross interference and self interference is significant when the interfering BD is located close to the target BD or the receiver. Therefore, AmBC systems can support more than one BD in an environment as long as the BDs are placed more than a wavelength apart from each other and RX.","PeriodicalId":212607,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132202207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Solving RTI model is an ill-posed problem that the number of measurements is less than pixels in a reconstruction image. Currently, the Tikhonov regularization based least square method (TRLS) is used to handle the problem, but its artificial regularization parameter disturbs initial RTI model and results in low localization accuracy. Gradient iteration regularization method (GIRM) is proposed to solve RTI model and has the advantages of high accuracy, low storage cost, good convergence and high stability. Unlike the TRLS, it uses mathematical deviation to obtain its parameter required for the solution and adopts several iterations to further weaken the influence of the parameter on the model. The image processing eliminates false targets and artifacts in a reconstruction image to obtain the number and the locations of real targets. Simulation shows that the localization performance of proposed method is higher than TRLS.","PeriodicalId":212607,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131401201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
