   Embedded Radio Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring

Deformations induced over an antenna by a substrate subjected to mechanical strain may be remotely read by processing the antenna response to a query system. Thanks to a collaboration with Civil Engineering researchers we are developing strain-gouge like RFID tags useful to be embedded into or over concrete walls, pillars or a around a crack to remotely sense the “Health of a Structure”. Electromagnetic effort is oriented to govern and shape the antenna backscattering in presence of time-dependent boundary conditions.
This technology promises ubiquitous applications to the emerging concept of Smart City when a multitude of low-cost passive radio-sensors will be scattered all over buildings and periodically interrogated by moving stations of by the smartphones of collaborating citizens.
