“…Passive RFID-based devices only execute shorter communication ranges than 5 m between the reader and the device. If the sensor is embedded to structure with obstructions, this communication range decreases (Lynch, 2006;Wang, 2001;Ikemoto et al, 2008).…”

“…From turn-on measurement it is possible to extract the realized gain of the tag , e.g., the gain of the tag scaled by the mismatch to the IC, strictly correlated to the physical variation of the local environment (6) Finally, forward (1) and backward (2) powers may be combined at turn-on with the purpose to drop out the influence of the distance and of the reader and tag gains and orientation [26], [27]. A nondimensional indicator, denoted as an analog identifier (AID), can hence be introduced (7) and it is very useful when the interrogation setup changes (position and orientation) in successive measurements.…”

“…RF identification (RFID) passive sensing has been successfully explored as a low-cost candidate toward lightweight, reliable, energy-efficient, and even batteryless durable wireless sensing devices. Proposed examples, already theoretically investigated or experimentally tested, include: temperature sensing [1], [2], solar powered and piezoscavenging batteryless wireless sensor tags [3], human monitoring by means of implanted devices [4], biochemical sensors [5], strain sensor [6], [7], motion sensor [8], moisture [9], and gas detection [10]. However, there is still significant work to do to fully master the cohabitation and integration of sensing and communication capabilities [11].…”

Carbon nanotube (CNT) composites are sensitive to the presence of gases due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and hollow structure that are well suited for gas molecule absorption and storage. Such sensing capability is here integrated with UHF RF identification (RFID) technology to achieve passive and lowcost sensors, remotely readable. CNT film (buckypaper) is used as a localized variable resistive load integrated into a tag antenna, which becomes able to transduce the presence of hazardous gas in the environment, ammonia in this case, into a change of its electromagnetic features. The dynamic range and the hysteresis of the radio sensor are investigated by simulations, equivalent circuits, and articulated experimentations within a true RFID link, providing the proof of concept and some guidelines for tag design.Index Terms-Nanotube, passive gas sensor, RF identification (RFID).

“…Sensor integrated tag antennas do not have above disadvantages as they acquire the direct measurement of required physical quantity (i.e., acceleration, strain, etc.). Strain measurements related to IHM by RFID tag antenna integrated strain gauges were previously reported in [30,31]. A corrosion sensor integrated tag antenna to monitor reinforcement of concrete structures has been studied in [32].…”

In this paper, we develop a radio frequency identification (RFID)-based wireless multi-sensory infrastructure health monitoring (IHM) system that can simultaneously measure dynamic acceleration and strain. The system consists of a novel multi-sensor integrated semi-passive ultra-high frequency (UHF) tag antenna that can be mounted on civil infrastructure elements; even made out of metal. The system is capable of measuring 3-axis dynamic acceleration and strain with spectral bandwidths of 40 Hz and 26.5 Hz, respectively. The natural frequency determination of infrastructure by the dynamic acceleration and strain measurements of the proposed system is accurate to 60 mHz. Benchmarking of the RFID-based wireless multi-sensor system is provided by comprehensive comparison of the results with measurements from a commercial wireless strain measurement system. The proposed system has 30 mHz natural frequency determination error when compared with dynamic strain measurement from the commercial system.
