Passive UHF RFID Tag with Multiple Sensing Capabilities Fernández-Salmerón, José Rivadeneyra Torres, Almudena Martínez Martí, Fernando Capitán Vallvey, Luis Fermín Palma López, Alberto José Carvajal Rodríguez, Miguel Ángel Screen printing Printed electronics UHF antenna RFID tag Sensor Switch This work presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of a printed radio frequency identification tag in the ultra-high frequency band with multiple sensing capabilities. This passive tag is directly screen printed on a cardboard box with the aim of monitoring the packaging conditions during the different stages of the supply chain. This tag includes a commercial force sensor and a printed opening detector. Hence, the force applied to the package can be measured as well as the opening of the box can be detected. The architecture presented is a passive single-chip RFID tag. An electronic switch has been implemented to be able to measure both sensor magnitudes in the same access without including a microcontroller or battery. Moreover, the chip used here integrates a temperature sensor and, therefore, this tag provides three different parameters in every reading. 2018-01-31T07:42:55Z 2018-01-31T07:42:55Z 2015-10-22 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Fernández-Salmerón, J.; et al.
