Abstract

See full text

A method includes receiving, by an RF receiving circuit of a passive wireless sensor of a wireless communication system, an RF signal. When a sensing element of the passive wireless sensor is exposed to an environmental condition, the method further includes affecting, by the sensing element, resonant frequency of the RF receiving circuit. The method further includes determining, by a processing module of the passive wireless sensor, a first value for an adjustable element for a known environmental condition, determining a second value for the adjustable element for an unknown environmental condition, determining a difference between the first and second values that correspond to a change, generating a coded value representative of the change, and transmitting the coded value. The method further includes receiving, by a second processing module of a sensor computing device of the wireless communication system, the coded value and determining a sensed environmental condition.
