“…A Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) RADAR was used for the measurement of pressure-dependent RCS variation and for the remote derivation of the applied pressure changes. The wireless sensing technique based on RCS-variability measurement has been successfully applied to the remote estimation of other physical quantities, such as temperature [3]- [7]. We have not found reports published before our first papers [1] [2] where the physical quantity is directly used for the RCS amplitude modulation of passive electromagnetic (EM) sensors and then remotely measured from FMCW RADAR interrogation.…”

Abstract-The wireless measurement of various physical quantities from the analysis of the RADAR Cross Sections variability of passive electromagnetic sensors is presented. A millimetre-wave Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave RADAR is used for both remote sensing and wireless identification of sensors. Long reading ranges (up to some decameters) may be reached at the expense of poor measurement resolution (typically 10%).

“…An RFID sensor of interest outlined by That et al [183] makes use of an SRR which uses a bi-metallic strip that modulates the split capacitance through temperature deformation, which results in a reduction of the gap distance. The diagrams in Figure 12 describe the layout of this sensor.…”

Chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been used in a variety of remote sensing applications and is currently a hot research topic. To date, there have been a large number of chipless RFID tags developed in both academia and in industry that boast a large variation in design characteristics. This review paper sets out to discuss the various design aspects needed in a chipless RFID sensor. Such aspects include: (1) Addressing strategies to allow for unique identification of the tag, (2) Sensing mechanisms used to allow for impedance-based response signal modulation and (3) Sensing materials to introduce the desired impedance change when under the influence of the target stimulus. From the tabular comparison of the various sensing and addressing techniques, it is concluded that although many sensors provide adequate performance characteristics, more work is needed to ensure that this technology is capable/robust enough to operate in many of the applications it has been earmarked for.

“…Before this digital region in the voltage-displacement curve, an analog region exists where specific voltages lead to specific displacements. This device may be of use to the problem at hand as the work of Thai et al in [ 28 ] demonstrated the use of a bi-metallic strip inside a chipless RFID tag design, as a means of temperature measurement. A similar approach may be possible with a much smaller RFID tag design.…”

To date, no printable chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensor-related publications in the current literature discuss the possibility of thermocouple integration, particularly for the use in extreme environments. Furthermore, the effects of a time-dependent stimulus on the scattering parameters of a chipless RFID have never been discussed in the known literature. This work includes a review of possible methods to achieve this goal and the design and characterization of a Barium Strontium Titanate (BST) based VHF/UHF voltage sensing circuit. Proof-of-concept thermocouple integration was attempted, and subsequent testing was performed using a signal generator. These subsequent tests involved applying ramp and sinusoid voltage waveforms to the circuit and the characteristics of these signals are largely extracted from the scattering response. Overall conclusions of this paper are that thermocouple integration into chipless RFID technology is still a significant challenge and further work is needed to identify methods of thermocouple integration. With that being said, the developed circuit shows promise as being capable of being configured into a conventional chipless RFID DC voltage sensor.
