The ambient backscatter communication (AmBC) system utilizes the existing ambient RF signals present in the atmosphere for backscattering the signal. One of the challenges for AmBC system is the interference at the receiver module caused by the direct path signal from the ambient source. The purpose of this paper is to study the coverage aspects of the bi-static backscatter communication system in a typical urban environment at sub-1GHz frequencies using simulations in MATLAB. For the simulation, 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) urban microcellular and international telecommunication union (ITU) device-to-device (D2D) propagation models are used. Moreover, the dynamic range i.e., the difference in the received power level of the direct path and the backscatter path is investigated. For correctly decoding the backscatter signal at the reader, the target value set for the dynamic range is less than 30 dB. This paper studies the importance of direct path interference suppression for the successful deployment of a bi-static backscatter communication system.
