Summary
In this chapter, we have provided an overview of ambient backscatter communication systems. Firstly, we have introduced the fundamentals of modulated backscatter and its three main configurations, i.e., monostatic, bistatic, and ambient backscatter communication systems. Then, key channel-coding and modulation techniques in modulated backscatter communication systems are discussed. Two major types of backscatter communication channels and their link budgets are also introduced. Next, theoretical analyses and experimental measurements of backscatter channels are reviewed. Finally, we have discussed some research challenges of backscatter communication systems, especially ambient backscatter communication systems.
