Abstract

This contribution investigates the feasibility of the passive UHF RF identification technology for the wireless monitoring of human bodymovements in some common sleep disorders by means of passive tags equipped with inertial switches. Electromagnetic and mechanical models as well as preliminary experimentations are introduced to analyze all the significant issues concerning the required power, the tag antenna design, the read distance, and the expected biosignals collected by the interrogation device.
