Abstract

Examples of backscatter systems, device, and techniques are described herein. Example backscatter devices may utilize CSS modulation to provide backscatter signals including CSS signals (e.g., LoRa packets). Utilizing CSS modulation may advantageously allow for backscatter communication over wide areas. Examples of backscatter devices described herein may toggle the impedance of the backscatter device between multiple (e.g., eight) impedances to reduce and/or eliminate higher order harmonic components in the backscatter signal (e.g., third and fifth harmonic components).
