“…The operating principle of the sensing unit is similar to the antenna-based RFID sensor tag, such as the electrical length change caused by deformation [ 26 ], current path [ 91 ], and impedance coupling [ 92 ]. These will result in a change in the characteristics of the backscatter signal, such as RCS [ 20 , 21 , 93 ], S-parameters [ 94 ], time or frequency domain [ 95 , 96 ], and amplitude or phase domain [ 29 , 97 ].…”

“…Taking the RFID antenna as a sensor, it can detect cracks [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], corrosion [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ], or stress [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ] in structures. These defects can cause changes in the RFID signal, such as radar cross section (RCS) [ 20 , 21 ], received signal strength indicator (RSSI) [ 17 , 22 ], phase [ 10 , 23 , 24 ], S-parameters [ 25 , 26 ], and turn on power [ 9 , 15 ]. As a means of communication and energy harvesting, wireless sensor nodes formed by RFID combined with low-power sensing technology are also suitable for SHM applications.…”

Structural health monitoring (SHM) plays a critical role in ensuring the safety of large-scale structures during their operational lifespan, such as pipelines, railways and buildings. In the last few years, radio frequency identification (RFID) combined with sensors has attracted increasing interest in SHM for the advantages of being low cost, passive and maintenance-free. Numerous scientific papers have demonstrated the great potential of RFID sensing technology in SHM, e.g., RFID vibration and crack sensing systems. Although considerable progress has been made in RFID-based SHM, there are still numerous scientific challenges to be addressed, for example, multi-parameters detection and the low sampling rate of RFID sensing systems. This paper aims to promote the application of SHM based on RFID from laboratory testing or modelling to large-scale realistic structures. First, based on the analysis of the fundamentals of the RFID sensing system, various topologies that transform RFID into passive wireless sensors are analyzed with their working mechanism and novel applications in SHM. Then, the technical challenges and solutions are summarized based on the in-depth analysis. Lastly, future directions about printable flexible sensor tags and structural health prognostics are suggested. The detailed discussion will be instructive to promote the application of RFID in SHM.

“…The resonance frequency magnitude of the tag is determined by detecting the location of the appearance of spikes in the spectrum when the temporal metal radiator on the surface of the electromagnetic wave tag generates resonance. By using the short-time Fourier transform, the time-frequency spectrum of the sensor tag can be obtained, and then the resonant peaks representing the ID and strain sensing regions of sensor tag can be extracted [23]. As shown in figure 13, the characteristic distribution of specific tag and strain sensing regions can be seen on the short time fourier transform (STFT) spectrum.…”

Chip-based radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor systems have been investigated for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications. However, there are disadvantages to using chips in sensor tags in terms of price, robustness and detecting power. In this paper, we propose a reconfigurable RFID-based chipless tag sensor for strain detection, which detects structural strain by observing the offset of the resonant frequency of the antenna and incorporates an encoding unit for tag identification. To realize the reconfigurability of the antenna, a PIN diode is added to control the antenna, and the frequency reconfigurability of the antenna is realized by controlling the turn on/off of the PIN diodes. The Kalman filter algorithm is used to realize the information fusion of multiple sensors to improve the sensor detection accuracy, and the background noise data enhancement is used to expand the original data samples to fuse the information of the three sensors' data. The relative inaccuracy is roughly 33.5% less after fusion compared to the measurement alone. The antenna was fabricated by an etching process and measured using VNA to verify the accuracy of the antenna simulation results.

[11][12][13] The evolution of MIMO has created new opportunities for switches in diverse fields, such as detection, 14,15 radio frequency identification (RFID), 16,17 and fifth-generation (5G) services.

The article details the development and production of an ultra‐wideband discrete single‐pole‐double‐throw (SPDT) Switch, measuring , and functioning within the 23.4–31 GHz frequency range, encompassing 24 and 28 GHz. This switch is specifically engineered to bolster high‐frequency systems in automotive and fifth‐generation applications. Our findings demonstrate that the discrete SPDT switch performs on par with integrated circuits while delivering consistent performance throughout its frequency spectrum. Furthermore, it offers a cost‐effective fabrication process. The switch exhibits an insertion loss ranging from 1.6 to 2.2 dB, with return loss and isolation surpassing 15 and 25 dB, respectively, across the majority of the frequency bandwidths.
