Abstract:
A method includes varying, by a tuning module of a passive radio RFID sensor, a reactive component impedance coupled to the tuning module and an antenna of the passive RFID sensor in order to change a system impedance. The method further includes producing an impedance value representative of the reactive component's impedance. The method further includes storing, by a memory module of the passive RFID sensor, the impedance value, identification information corresponding to the antenna, and a timestamp corresponding to the impedance value. The method further includes communicating, by a wireless communication module of the passive RFID sensor, the impedance value, the identification information, and the timestamp to an RFID reader. When the impedance value, the identification information, and the timestamp indicate an unfavorable environmental condition, the method further includes generating, by the RFID reader, an alarm signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprises:\n varying, by a tuning module of a passive radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor, a reactive component impedance coupled to the tuning module and an antenna of the passive RFID sensor in order to change a system impedance, wherein the system impedance comprises the antenna impedance and the reactive component's impedance, and wherein the antenna impedance is operable to vary within an environment in which the antenna is placed; producing, by the tuning module, an impedance value representative of the reactive component's impedance; storing, by a memory module of the passive RFID sensor, the impedance value representative of the reactive component's impedance, identification information corresponding to the antenna, and a timestamp corresponding to the impedance value; communicating, by a wireless communication module of the passive RFID sensor, the impedance value, the identification information, and the timestamp to an RFID reader, wherein the RFID reader is operable to determine at least one environmental condition from the impedance value; and when the impedance value, the identification information, and the timestamp indicate an unfavorable environmental condition:\n generating, by the RFID reader, an alarm signal.
