INTRODUCTION
Chapter 6 Chipless RFID Humidity Sensor Using Silicon Nanowires
This chapter explains a novel temporal chipless RFID sensor tag for humidity sensing application. It proves the candidature of silicon nanowires in the humidity sensor measurements. Firstly, a prototype of the sensor tag is tested. Further, measurement of a chipless tag in a real environment is incorporated.
Conclusion
It serves the conclusions drawn from the studies with directions for future work. It describes the important findings of the thesis and salient features of the proposed temporal multi-frequency tag.
Appendix Methodology
In this section, the methodology adopted for characterizing the chipless tag is described. It deals with the various techniques employed for the design, fabrication, and measurement of tags. Simulation analysis using commercial EM simulation package such as CST is also outlined.
