“…For instance, it can be used to discriminate the variation of materials as a transmission medium of the radio waves. Therefore, RFID tags are also innovatively used as electromagnetic sensors for different measurement purposes, such as strain detection [6], [7], material corrosion analysis [8], [9], crack detection [10], [11], [12] and food quality evaluation [13], [14].…”

The Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has gained interests in both academia and industry since its invention. In addition to the applications in access control and supply chain, RFID is also a cost-efficient solution for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and pervasive monitoring. The battery free RFID tags are used as independent electromagnetic sensors or energy harvesting and data transmission interface of sensor modules for different measurement purposes. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the innovative designs and applications of RFID sensor technology with new insights, identify the technical challenges, and outline the future perspectives. With a brief introduction to the fundamentals of RFID measurement, the enabling technologies and recent technical progress are illustrated, followed by an extensive discussion of the novel designs and applications. Then, based on an in-depth analysis, the potential constraints are identified and the envisaged future directions are suggested, including printable/wearable RFID, System-on-Chip (SoC), ultra-low power, etc. The comprehensive discussion of RFID sensor technology will be inspirational and useful for academic and industrial communities in investigating, developing, and applying RFID for various measurement applications.

“…The state of the art of monitoring the dynamic behaviour of rotors provides a number of possible solutions such as the application of strain gauges, fibre Bragg gratings, eddy current probes, Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) and optical derotator [11][12][13][14]. These measurement techniques provide several advantages such as a high measurement rate, online capability, non-destructive measurements, a high angular resolution and micron measurement uncertainty.…”

An RFID-based folded patch antenna has been developed as a novel passive wireless sensor to measure surface strain and crack, for the structural health monitoring of metallic structures. Up to 2.5 meters of read range is achieved by a proof-of-concept prototype patch antenna sensor with a strain sensitivity around -760 Hz/με, which is equivalent to a normalized strain sensitivity of -0.74 ppm/με. In this paper, we propose to consider the change of the substrate dielectric constant due to strain when modeling the antenna sensor. An enhanced strain sensitivity model is introduced for more accurately estimating the strain sensing performance of the hereby introduced "smart skin" antenna sensor. Laboratory experiments are carried out to quantify the dielectric constant change under strain. The measurement results are incorporated into a mechanics-electromagnetics coupled simulation model. Accuracy of the multi-physics coupled simulation is improved by integrating dielectric constant change in the model. Index Terms-Folded patch antenna, RFID sensor, structural health monitoring, smart skin, dielectric constant change, antenna sensor, wireless sensor, strain sensing.
