            Abstract : 
An overview is provided of RF and microwave technology challenges for Internet-of-Things applications. In addition to traditional ultra-low power radio requirements, improved energy recovery and storage technologies and improved solid-state sensor technologies will be required. The marriage of RF, dc, sensors and network technologies promises a vast array of new technologies for the improvement of human health and well-being.
