摘要

A system and method for communicating with a passive wireless tag. In one embodiment, a device for powering a passive wireless tag includes a power source, a first antenna, and a controller. The controller is configured to detect a wireless signal transmission directed to the passive wireless tag. The controller is further configured to transmit power extracted from the power source, via the first antenna, to the passive wireless tag, responsive to detection of the wireless signal transmission. The transmitted power is to be used to power the passive wireless tag.
