Abstract :
An RF powered UHF-RFID passive sensors platform was realized using discrete components and printed antennas designed to resonate at 868 MHz, used both for energy harvesting and data transmission. The tests demonstrate the possibility for the system to operate autonomously within the reading range of a standard RFID reader, that acts both as the RF power source and the receiver of the data stored in the tag user memory. The microcontroller can be interfaced on the same substrate with a sensor made of polymeric materials, sensible to physical parameters or chemical agents.
