Conference Technical Program

• 33 research presentations peer-reviewed by the IEEE RFID Technical Program Committee representing the state of the art in RFID research and development.
• The IEEE RFID 2012 Poster Session provided researchers with opportunities to present their cutting-edge work in an interactive manner which would facilitate dialogue between them and other researchers and industry professionals in an open forum.

Student Competition: Rectenna Shootout!

Student teams designed a custom 915 MHz LED rectenna (antenna + RF charge pump + LED) for the IEEE RFID 2012 conference.  A Cash prize was awarded for the device that could light up an LED from the furthest distance using a 915 MHz continuous wave source.
