Abstract
A wireless, passive, remote query sensor platform is presented capable of monitoring the complex permittivity of a surrounding medium, temperature, humidity, and pressure. The sensor is a planar two-dimensional inductor–capacitor circuit, of scaleable-size, that resonates at a characteristic frequency the value of which is dependent upon the parameters of interest. The resonant frequency of the sensor is detected remotely with one or a pair of loop antennas by measuring the impedance or voltage spectrum of the antenna(s), with the environmental parameters of interest then calculated from the measured resonant frequency. The wireless, remote query nature of the platform enables the LC sensor to monitor the environmental conditions from within sealed opaque containers. The paper describes the operational principles, design criteria, illustrative applications, and performance limitations of the sensor platform.
