A CMOS-SOI 2.45GHz Remote-Powered Sensor Tag

Abstract

To enable the wide deployment of ambient intelligence, where various environmental parameters can be sensed and reported, the main challenge consists in developing low-cost, low-power and miniaturized sensor tags composed of an integrated circuit, a sensor and an antenna. Sensor tags are also of great interest for healthcare applications, such as blood or air pressure measurement in Renard, S., et al, (2000), and for temperature monitoring applications. In this context, the integration of RFID and sensor read-out techniques on the same die is an important step in the development of the Sensor Tag concept.
