Short-range communications is one of the most relevant as well as diversified fields of en-
deavour in wireless communications. As such, it has been a subject of intense research and
development worldwide, particularly in the last decade. There is no reason to believe that this
trend will decline. On the contrary, the rapidly crystallizing vision of a hyper-connected world
will certainly strengthen the role of short-range communications in the future. Concepts such
as wireless social networks, Internet of Things, car communications, home and office network-
ing, wireless grids and personal communications heavily rely on short-range communications
technology.

The information age is exploding around us,
giving us access to dizzying amounts of data the instant it becomes available.
Smart phones and tablets provide an untethered experience that offers stream-
ing video, audio, and other media formats to just about any place on the planet.
Even people who are not “computer literate” use Facebook to catch up with
friends and family, use Google to research a new restaurant choice and print
directions to get there, or Tweet their reactions once they have sampled the
fare. The budding Internet-of-Things will only catalyze this data eruption.
The infrastructure supporting these services is also growing exponentially,
and the technology that facilitates this rapid growth is virtualization.

since then, some Things have changed and some have not.
Two of the Things that have not changed are the desire for better
models and faster simulations. I performed the original simulations on
my “hyperfast” 133-MHz computer! At the time, I thought if I could just
getafastercomputer,allofourSPICEproblemswouldbehistory,right?
TodayIamsimulatingonacomputerthathasa2.6-GHzprocessorwith
512 MB of RAM, and I would still say that simulations run too slow.
The computer technology has evolved, but so have the models. In 1996
wewereperformingsimulationson100-kHzpowerconverters,whereas
today I routinely see 1- and 2-MHz power converters.

With all the recent hype over radio frequency identification (RFID) and
the requirements to implement it, you might think that RFID can turn
water into wine, transform lead into gold, and cure the world’s diseases. You
might also be worried that RFID will enable Big Brother to track your move-
ments to within a foot of your location from a satellite five hundred miles up
in space. The truth is, RFID can do none of these Things.
In this chapter, you find out the basics of what RFID is, what forces are dri-
ving RFID as a replacement for the bar code in the marketplace, and what
benefits RFID can offer

Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is witnessing a recent explosion of
development in both industry and academia. A number of applications include supply
chain management, electronic payments, RFID passports, environmental monitoring
and control, office access control, intelligent labels, target detection and tracking, port
management, food production control, animal identification, and so on. RFID is also
an indispensable foundation to realize the pervasive computing paradigm—“Internet of
Things.” It is strongly believed that many more scenarios will be identified when the
principles of RFID are thoroughly understood, cheap components available, and when
RFID security is guaranteed.

RFID networks are currently recognized as one a research area of priority. Research
activities related to RFID technology have been booming recently. A number of ongoing
projects are being funded in Europe, Asia, and North America. According to leading
market analysts, the development of the RFID market is projected to increase from
approximately $3 billion in 2005 to $25 billion in 2015. Several countries have dedicated
innovation programs to support and develop RFID systems and related technologies: the
RFID initiative in Taiwan, Ubiquitous Japan and the NSF SBIR program in the USA.
The EU has recently advertised its Strategic Research Roadmap concerning the Internet of
Things, which first of all refers to the RFID technology before being extended to commu-
nicating devices as in M2M (Machine to Machine). In this roadmap, several application
domains have been identified:

To a quantum mechanic the whole universe is one godawful big interacting wavefunction ?
but to the rest of us, it’s a world full of separate and distinguishable objects that hurt us
when we kick them. At a few months of age, human children recognize objects, expect
them to be permanent and move continuously, and display surprise when they aren’t or
don’t. We associate visual, tactile, and in some cases audible and olfactory sensations with
identifiable physical Things. We’re hardwired to understand our environment as being
composed of separable Things with specific properties and locations. We understand the
world in terms of what was where when.

Fun. We (your authors) wanted a word to describe our ultimate goal for this book, as well as a word
we hope you (our reader) will use to describe it, and that’s the one we chose. There are others goals,
of course, but in the end, when you’ve finished the book, we’re hoping you’ll have enjoyed the
activities described in these pages.
Many books use the Introduction to explain exactly what the book is about, what the reader will
learn, what the reader needs (a skill or maybe an item or piece of software), and what the reader
will be left with when that last page is completed. And this Introduction will do those Things, but …
hopefully it’ll make you excited to get started.

This book was written by Michael Margolis with Nick Weldin to help you explore the
amazing Things you can do with Arduino.
Arduino is a family of microcontrollers (tiny computers) and a software creation envi-
ronment that makes it easy for you to create programs (called sketches) that can interact
with the physical world. Things you make with Arduino can sense and respond to
touch, sound, position, heat, and light. This type of technology, often referred to as
physical computing, is used in all kinds of Things, from the iPhone to automobile elec-
tronics systems. Arduino makes it possible for anyone—even people with no program-
ming or electronics experience—to use this rich and complex technology.

It all started rather innocuously. I walked into Dr GT Murthy’s office one fine day, andchanged my life. “Doc” was then the General Manager, Central R&D, of a very largeelectrical company headquartered in Bombay. In his new state-of-the-art electronics center,he had hand-picked some of India’s best engineers (over a hundred already) ever assembledunder one roof. Luckily, he too was originally a Physicist, and that certainly helped me gainsome empathy. Nowadays he is in retirement, but I will always remember him as athoroughly fair, honest and facts-oriented person, who led by example. There were severalThings I absorbed from him that are very much part of my basic engineering persona today.You can certainly look upon this book as an extension of what Doc started many years agoin India … because that’s what it really is! I certainly wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t metDoc. And in fact, several of the brash, high-flying managers I’ve met in recent years,desperately need some sort of crash course in technology and human values from Doc!
