This research studies the performance of a battery-free wireless antenna sensor for measuring crack propagation. In our previous work, a battery-free folded patch antenna was designed for wireless strain and crack sensing. When experiencing deformation, the antenna shape changes, causing shift in electromagnetic resonance frequency of the antenna. The wireless interrogation system utilizes the ...

The antenna range is set up for antenna ratiometry 1 so that two paths are constantly being compared, both originating from a common transmitting antenna. These two paths are called "reference" and "measurement." The reference path uses a fixed antenna that receives what should be a constant level; in reality, there are continuous small fluctuations in received signal at microwave frequencies e...

This paper presents the design and finite difference time domain (FDTD) modeling of millimeter wave aperture coupled microstrip antenna that can be realized as a on chip antenna in wireless sensor nodes. At millimeter wave frequency, antenna form factor is very low and hence integration of this antenna with the transceiver components as a single system on-chip, minimizes power consumption and s...

A novel model of a wide frequency range double MOS loaded circular microstrip patch antenna with airgap between ground plane and substrate is proposed. In this structure two metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices are loaded on the patch to enhance the operating frequency range of antenna. To investigate the antenna, different parameters such as resonance frequency, input impedance, frequency a...

The chapter addresses the problem by presenting an analytical model for a 3-dimensional single folded loop antenna with detection coverage in space. Based on the antenna theory, the inductance and impedance of the loop antenna is investigated. Design issues including antenna topology, read range, tag orientations, proximity of metal and other antennas are addressed to determine proper antenna f...

We propose a push/pull origami antenna, transformable between a single antenna element and a three-element array. In limited space, the proposed origami antenna can work as a single antenna. When the space is not limited and a higher gain is required, the proposed origami antenna can be transformed to a series antenna array by pulling the frame. In order to push the antenna array back to a sing...
