Abstract
Backscatter radio systems are generally considered to be suitable only for short range transmission limited by the two-way path losses and receiver sensitivity. Using a simple model of the receiver noise due to the leakage of the carrier signal into the receiver, we show that by spatially separating the transmit and receive antennas to increase isolation while sharing a single local oscillator such that the phase noise is correlated, a 6m antenna separation can achieve 10
