Sensor microassemblies with radio frequency identification for temperature measurement

Abstract

Abstract The present article studies the approach to building the distributed wireless sensor networks. It shows that, for RFID-based wireless sensor networks, the first thing to determine is the field it is intended to be used for, the far or the near one. The operating frequency value determines the size of the antenna, and the correlation is inverse. The operational contradiction analysis shows, that to increase the operating range of the tags, it makes sense to select the systems with an active power supply. But from the energy efficiency perspective, the passive tags are better to be used, and for increasing the range of data transmission, coordinators that collect and transmit the data to the central unit are preferable. Wireless sensor networks technology is the only wireless technology that can be used for solving some surveillance and control issues, where the time of processing of the sensor readings is critical. United into a wireless network with the suggested method, the sensors make up a spatially distributed self-organized system of collection, processing and transmission of information. A special attention is paid to the structural solution for temperature control in the wireless sensor networks elements. In the conclusion, recommendations on using radio frequency identification technology-based sensor systems are provided.
