INTEGRATED SENSORS FOR STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING

摘要

A wireless sensor includes a sensing element, a signal conditioning element, and a passive RFID tag. The sensing element is adapted to provide an electrical response indicating whether a physical parameter applied to the wireless sensor has exceeded a predetermined threshold. The signal conditioning element is electrically coupled to the sensing element and is adapted to detect the electrical response of the sensing element. The passive RFID tag is electrically coupled to the signal conditioning element. The passive RFID tag is adapted to be powered by an interrogation by an RFID reader, to receive an indication of the electrical response from the signal conditioning element, and to transmit the indication to the RFID reader.
