Abstract:
This paper presents a semi-passive universal, multi- applications, SMART RFID Sensing Transponder (SRST). It consists of a new low-power passive 13.56MHz RFID Analogue Front End (AFE), a micro-controller, sensors and rechargeable battery. The AFE was designed and fabricated successfully based on using a 0.35um CMOS technology. To allow re-charging a battery through the RF field, a new RF energy harvesting system is designed and integrated within the AFE; this leads to a self-powered system, which is a new benefit in the RFID sensing and continuous monitoring.
