Wireless Passive RFID-Based Sensor for Crack Detection - Second Stage of Investigations

Abstract:

This paper presents second stage of investigations on passive, wireless sensor based on RFID technology for detection of cracks in ceramic parts, plates and equipment (simulation and experiments of operating principle, prototypes that check manufacturing possibilities, process of transponder design). We focused on prototyping of such sensor and we want to present subsequent steps that lead from concept to working prototype. Although it was presented earlier, there is also described shortly project conception of this kind of sensor, and its principle of operation. Important part are also possible applications specification.
