This tag includes five photodiodes to cover a wide spectral range from near-infrared to visible and ultraviolet spectral regions. The tag antenna and circuit connections have been screen-printed on a flexible polymeric substrate. An ultra-low-power microcontroller-based switch has been included to measure the five magnitudes issuing from the optical sensors, providing a spectral fingerprint of the incident electromagnetic radiation from ultraviolet to infrared, without requiring energy from a battery. The normalization procedure has been designed applying illuminants, and the entire system was tested by measuring cards from a colour chart and sensing fruit ripening.}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Screen printing}, keywords = {Printed electronics}, keywords = {Passive RFID tag}, keywords = {Optical sensor}, keywords = {Microcontroller}, keywords = {Spectral fingerprint}, title = {Passive UHF RFID Tag for Multispectral Assessmen}, author = {Escobedo Araque, Pablo and Carvajal Rodríguez, Miguel Ángel and Capitán Vallvey, Luis Fermín and Fernández-Salmerón, José and Martínez Olmos, Antonio and Palma López, Alberto José}, }
