ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
I joined UTA in 2007, in my first semester I took a course under Dr. Daniel<br />
Engels. I was flabbergasted with his knowledge in RFID world. I thought I had<br />
not learnt enough just by taking his class. So I joined his research team Texas RF<br />
Innovation and Technology Center in summer 2007. Daniel’s ideas and his ways of<br />
research inspired and motivated me not only in gaining knowledge in RFID world<br />
but it totally changed the ways of my research. Daniel’s words were like catalyst, an<br />
impulse in my brain. Daniel has been an inspiration in my life For all these reasons I<br />
would like to thank him whole heartedly for nurturing my brain to achieve my goal.<br />
Dr. Stephen Gibbs was my graduate advisor when I joined UTA. He paved me<br />
a path advising me through my Masters. I would like to thank Steve for introducing<br />
me to Daniel’s course in spring 2007. For all this I would like to thank Steve for his<br />
patience and agreeing to be my thesis chair. I would also like to take this opportunity<br />
to thank Dr. Jonathan Bredow for guiding me in my final semester of my thesis. Jon<br />
in my final semester took Daniel’s place, kept constant touch with me and made sure<br />
I complete my thesis. For all this I once again thank Jon for being there when Daniel<br />
was not around. I would like to thank Dr. John Priest for supporting me and agreeing<br />
to be a part of my thesis committee.<br />
Also I would like to thank Stanley Howard for supporting me in providing an<br />
Graduate Teaching Assistantship all through my Masters and allowing me to use his<br />
Labs for experiments. Stan has always motivated me with my work and given me a<br />
