Abstract
Wireless sensing devices are increasingly utilized to gather information about the environment of deployment. In this chapter, we analyze the requirements of an idealized wireless sensing node and discuss how effective battery powered wireless sensors are, in addressing these requirements. We also evaluate the advantages and shortcomings of alternative passive wireless sensing approaches emphasizing an emerging paradigm of RFID tag antenna-based sensing that offers great potential for the development of ultra low cost, long-lasting wireless sensors.
