Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is now arguably one of the most heavily discussed and researched topics in the technology industry, and has the potential of completely revolutionizing how we work and how we live. Future success and sustainability of IoT depends greatly on the ability of devices to communicate using very little power without incurring additional costs or worsening our energy footprint. This issue has driven significant attention towards (ambient) backscatter communication systems, as a possible solution to leverage green IoT applications and to increase capacity for future wireless networks. This tutorial contains two parts in order to provide participants with broad and comprehensive overviews of ambient backscatter communication technology which has been considered as one of the emerging and breakthrough wireless technologies. The first half of the tutorial covers the motivation, basic principles, the state-of-the art of (ambient) backscatter communications, and modulations schemes. The second half covers the receiver design issues, fundamental performance limits, and future works.
