Held from April 2-4 in Phoenix, Arizona, IEEE RFID 2019 is the world\u0026rsquo;s premier science and engineering conference for RF identification and related technologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EQi is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) where he is advised by ECE Professor Gregory D. Durgin. Qi received this award with his co-authors\u0026mdash;Durgin and Francesco Amato, a 2017 Georgia Tech ECE Ph.D. alumnus who is now at the University of Rome and\u0026nbsp;who was also advised by Durgin.\u0026nbsp;Three of the last four Best Paper Awards\u0026nbsp;at the IEEE RFID conference have been presented to researchers from Durgin\u0026rsquo;s research team, known as The Propagation Group.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EQi\u0026rsquo;s paper, entitled \u0026ldquo;Breaking the Range Limit of RFID Localization: Phase-based Positioning with Tunneling Tags,\u0026quot; presented a radically new way to do ultra-precise localization of a low-powered RFID tag. By using a Georgia Tech innovation\u0026mdash;a quantum tunneling RFID tag\u0026mdash;and a new algorithm to adjust for radio multiparty, Qi demonstrated centimeter-scale position location of a tag at tens of meters of range. The technique can work at hundreds-of-meters range and through walls as well.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECutline:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003ECheng Qi (2nd from left) is the recipient of the IEEE RFID 2019 Best Paper Award.
