Architecture Characteristics and Technical Trends of UHF RFID Temperature Sensor Chip

Abstract

The integration of temperature sensor (TS) and UHF RFID technology has attracted wide attention theoretically and experimentally. The architecture, power consumption, temperature measurement range, accuracy, and communication distance are key indicators of the performance of UHF RFID temperature sensor chip (RID-TSC). This work aims to provide a clearer view of the development of UHF RFID-TSC integration technology. After a systematic analysis of the characteristics of ADC, TDC, and FDC used in an integrated TS, the key low-power technologies under different architectures are summarized. Through the observation of the latest researches and commercial products, the development trend of UHF RFID-TSC technology is obtained, including on-chip and off-chip coordination, multiprotocol and multifrequency support, passive wireless sensor intelligence, miniaturization, and concealment.

Living Tree Moisture Content Detection Method Based on Intelligent UHF RFID Sensors and OS-PELM

“…Following the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) technology [6][7][8], passive ultra-high-frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) has attracted considerable attention for its convenience and reliability [9]. It has also been extended to the field of sensor applications, through replacing the expensive and complex sensors for monitoring environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and gases [10,11]. The UHF RFID sensor has been used to obtain stable results and has shown great potential, although there is still room for further improvement in terms of the sensor accuracy, anti-interference ability, data transmission range, energy efficiency, etc.…”

Long Range Battery-Less UHF-RFID Platform for Sensor Applications

“…In particular, the most important are SL900A chip tag by Austria Micro System (AMS) [11], Easy2Log tag by CAEN RFID [12] and EVAL01-Fenix-RM by Farsens [13]. Many flexible solutions are available on the market such as SPS1M002 by On Semiconductor [14], the sensor node DogBone by Smartrac [15] and others [16]. Hence, this work aims to update the last version of WISP [9] with improved hardware architecture, based on [17] and on a novel dual-output rectenna, able to operate at long read-range distances compliant with the regulation provided by the This work was supported in part by the ECSEL JU through the European Union's H2020 Research and Innovation Program and Germany, Slovakia, Netherlands, Spain, and Italy, under grant agreement no.…”
