Question 02:

Answer: b

Backscatter
• Backscatter is a method that uses an incident radio-frequency (RF) signal to transmit data without a battery or power source.
• It employs passive reflection and modulation of the incoming RF signal and converts it into tens or hundreds of microwatts of electricity, that can be encoded for data communications.
• It differs from other wireless communications since the communication is half-duplex in nature, i.e. both the sender and receiver cannot transmit simultaneously.
• The main advantage of backscattering is its low energy requirements and low complexity of deployment.
