Presentation Summary

  • Our approach converts ubiquitous passive HF RFID tags into inductively coupled sensors; 16-bit resolution is provided by a newly developed sensor reader; no need for custom RFID memory chips that have an analog input.
  • Developed sensors detect part-per-billion or part-per-million concentrations of gases and part-per-trillion part-per-billion concentrations of species in liquids; detection selectivity is provided by multivariate data processing of sensor response.
  • Examples of diverse application scenarios will be demonstrated.
