Using Reflection Amplifiers to Increase the Range of a Bluetooth Radio

We have this technique called a reflection amplifier. And what it allows you to do is you can actually reflect more power than you get in. So potentially the signal that you broadcast theoretically can be stronger than the signal thatyou're harvesting from whereas when you're doing backscatter you're kind of reflecting back and the signal will never be because it can never be 100% efficient. But we are racing towards a climate catastrophe and one company, one technology won't be able to cut it so we need this host of solutions to help us get to that point. I truly believe backscatter would be what should be part of that arsenal.
