This article presents a real-time identification process for slow motion-modulated chipless radio frequency identification (RFID), which can be applied to human hand gestures to realize a full-practical long-range RFID system with gesture recognition capability. Depolarizing chipless tags configured by hand in three gestures are utilized, while different motion-induced modulation effects involved in each gesture are analytically modeled. The identification based on differential radar cross-section (RCS) and gesture recognition using deterministic in-phase/quadrature (IQ) trajectories is addressed according to the developed model. The fast reading process for slow motion-modulated chipless RFID is proposed based on the sequential fast frequency sweep acquisitions by vector network analyzer (VNA), while the sweep time is very short compared to the period of motion. The identification time achieved using this approach is about only a few periods of motion, which is ideal for implementing hand gesture-modulated chipless RFID in real time. The designed gesture-modulated chipless tag is identified during a few seconds at distances up to 3 m for the most efficient gesture. Moreover, all the hand gestures are recognized at the 2-m range based on the received IQ signature. These achievements realize the practical example of motion-modulated chipless RFID where both tag identification and gesture recognition are simultaneously provided.

Aiming at supporting diverse applications, integrated communication, sensing, and power transfer (ICSPT) is anticipated to be a key feature of 6G networks. In ICSPT scenarios, power amplifiers (PAs) suffer from dynamic effects due to rapid switching between different operating modes, posing new challenges for PA linearization. In this article, a novel digital predistortion (DPD) method is proposed to effectively compensate for PA distortion in such scenarios. To accurately characterize these dynamic effects with low complexity, we introduce a method for calculating dynamic state variables that represent the dynamic behavior of PAs. For communication mode, these variables are incorporated into a neural network (NN) model, leveraging NN’s powerful fitting capability to track changes in PA’s nonlinear characteristics due to mode switching. For sensing and power transfer modes, the variables are used to fine-tune the input signal, compensating for fluctuations in PA’s gain. Experimental validations were conducted on a millimeter-wave (mmWave) gallium nitride (GaN) PA at a center frequency of 27 GHz. The PA was excited by 40/200-MHz NR signals for communication mode, 100/500-MHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals for sensing mode, and a CW signal for power transfer mode. The test demonstrates that the proposed method significantly improves transmission performance while maintaining similar complexity.
