“…Based on existing regulations, license-free sensors are only allowed to radiate power in the industrial scientific and medical (ISM)-bands, e.g. 868/915 MHz, 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, and the 3-10 GHz UWB spectrum [21]. Moreover, the use of UWB waveforms in the 3-10 GHz spectrum is not covered by the RFID standard [21].…”

Therefore, unless operating in the UWB spectrum, the interrogation of wireless sensors may be limited to narrow ISM-bands [21].…”

“…This results in limited adoption of RF-based sensing in real IoT systems. To illustrate, certain resonant sensors may act as radiators [20], which restricts their real-world deployment due to frequency spectrum regulations requiring re-design [21]. As multiple efforts aimed to present holistic and standardized approaches to wireless sensing, including investigations of the trade-offs between sensitivity and read-range in passive RFID [22], a practical study focusing on the methodology of designing antenna-based sensors is needed.…”

Remote ice detection has emerged as an application of Radio Frequency (RF) sensors. While antenna-based "RFID" sensing can detect various measurands, antenna-based sensors are not currently designed based on a systematic methodology, and in most cases may have a low sensitivity requiring specialist hardware or broadband interrogation signals, incompatible with spectrum regulations. Here, we develop a systematic methodology for designing an antenna-based sensor, applicable to measurands inducing a dielectric change in the near-field of the antenna. The proposed methodology is applied to designing printable antennas as highly-sensitive sensors for detecting and measuring the thickness of ice, demonstrating best-in-class sensory response compared to more complex antenna designs. Antenna design is investigated systematically for wireless interrogation in the 2.4 GHz band, where it is found that a loop antenna outperforms a dipole owing to its more distributed capacitance. The antenna's realized gain was identified as the optimum parameter-under-test, with "positive" sensing proposed as a method of improving linearity and immunity to interference. The developed loop antenna sensor exhibits resilience to interference and applicability to different real-world deployment environments, demonstrated through over 80% average ice thickness measurement accuracy and at least 5 dB real-time sensitivity to ice deposition.

“…One resonator is attached to the rotating element and the cross-polarization reflection is used as a means of measuring rotation angle. Other rotation monitoring sensors of note include the work of Matbouly et al [158]. This approach uses a slot resonator and a linearly polarized reader antenna to make use of rotation-dependent polarization mismatches between the reader and the tag.…”

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.

The availability of low-cost near-field communication (NFC) devices, the incorporation of NFC readers into most current mobile phones, and the inclusion of energy-harvesting (EH) capabilities in NFC chips make NFC a key technology for the development of green Internet of Things (IoT) applications. In this chapter, an overview of recent advances in the field of battery-less NFC sensors at 13.56 MHz is provided, and a comparison to other short-range RFID technologies is given. After reviewing power transfer in NFC, recommendations for the practical design of NFC-based sensor tags and NFC readers are made. A list of commercial NFC integrated circuits with energy-harvesting capabilities is also provided. A survey of recent battery-less NFC sensors developed by the group including soil moisture, water content, pH, color, and implanted NFC sensors is done.
