  2. Ami Network Reader Flexible Tag Microlab (with gas sensing capabilities) AmI node Flexible Tag Microlab Flexible Tag Microlab Scenario • A flexible tag gas sensing system with Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) communication capabilities for food logistics is being proposed • The final device will be a flexible label hosting sensing capabilities and a RFID interface for wireless data exchange within an Ambient Intelligence (AmI) infrastructure • This visionary application requires the development and optimization of several Micro System Technologies

  3. System architecture • Custom RFID circuitry with discrete components (ISO-15693 Vicinity Card): • antenna (1) • analog front-end (2) • digital circuitry (sensor control and signal acquisition) (3) • commercial RH & temperature sensor and light sensor (4) • thin film flexible battery and switching power supply (5) Ultra-low power (ULP) Metal OXide (MOX) sensor 4 + 3 1 2 5

  4. Digital blocks Demodulator Control Unit Analog Front-End Decoding of incoming message Preparation of outgoing message Antenna Modulator implemented on CPLD implemented on µC implemented on both CPLD and µC RFID capabilities Reader  Tag • 100% Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) pulse position coding • Analog front-end rectifies the incoming signal • CPLD hw demodulates the signal Tag  Reader • Antenna loading to generate subcarriers: Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation • CPLD and mC manage the transmission

  5. Conclusions • Prototypes of RFID antennas on flexible substrate and active (battery powered) RFID circuits were realized and tested • ULP MOX sensor hotplates have been designed through FEM simulations, and physically realized • RFID tags featuring MOX sensors will be available by the end of 2006
