Abstract
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) technology and low power electronic sensors may be combined to build wireless passive sensors which might cover many applications ranging from Internet of Things to Healthcare. This work presents a multi-perspective overview of RFID-based sensor tags and then proceed to experimentally characterize the sensing capabilities of two commercial fully-passive RFID sensor tags for acceleration and relative humidity data acquisition, respectively. Measurements are compared with data acquired through commercial traditional non-RFID wired sensors
