On-the-Fly Interrogation of Mobile Passive Sensors from the Fusion of Optical and Radar Data

In this paper a new method based on the fusion of optical and radar data is proposed to detect and remotely interrogate mobile and passive sensors. The sensors are detected in real time by using an optical camera, while their remote reading is carried out on the fly using a Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave radar. The proof-of-concept is established from the interrogation of a microfluidic temperature sensor placed on a conveyer belt.

Long-Range Reading of Multiple Chipless Sensors from the Isoline Processing of 3D Radar Images

In this paper, we report the long-range and wireless interrogation of multiple chipless sensors from the isoline processing of three-dimensional polarimetric radar images. A Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave Radar operating at 24 GHz is used for the indoor interrogation of four sensors in the basement of a Laboratory. In such cluttered environment, the proposed radar image processing based on isolines computation allows the wireless measurement range of sensors up to 5.8m.

BCB Based Packaging for Low Actuation Voltage RF MEMS Devices

This paper outlines the issues related to RF MEMS packaging and low actuation voltage. An original approach is presented concerning the modeling of capacitive contacts using multiphysics simulation and advanced characterization. A similar approach is used concerning packaging development where multi-physics simulations are used to optimize the process. A devoted package architecture is proposed featuring very low loss at microwave range.
