Abstract
In this paper, three configurations of LC (inductor-capacitor) pressure sensors are developed, namely series LC pressure sensors, compact LC pressure sensors, and far-field LC pressure sensor tags. The modified silk protein films have been chosen as substrates due to their good biocompatibility and air/water permeability, which is suitable for continuously pasting such substrates on skin. For series LC pressure sensors, conducting wire is used to connect the flexible capacitor and spiral inductor. It exhibits good cycling stability and high sensitivities, suitable for electronic skin. For compact LC pressure sensors, the spiral coil functions as inductor, antenna, and capacitor electrode simultaneously, minimizing the space cost and is suitable for array integration, while the sensitivities remain the same. By tailoring the turn of the spiral coil, the resonate frequency can be regulated continuously. An annular array of compact LC sensors with ten distinct resonate frequencies ranged from 400 to 1000MHz is developed to remotely monitor the press of number 0-9. Finally, far-field LC pressure sensor tags with elongated detection distances are developed in which each compact LC sensor acts as a filter. A wireless in-shoe plantar to detect the sole pressure distribution using the far-field LC sensor configuration is developed.
