And its essential to identify the source of the gas leakage for further adjustments. SAW gas sensors are very sensitive to a tiny changes of gas ,detecting 100 ^-12 g/cm^2. A change in mass is registered as a frequency change. So now If we can assign the changes in frequency to a DC discrete value, we can identify what kind of gas and how much of it, is present in the area. By integrating this SAW Gas sensor in our RFID tags, the reader can tell the blur location of the gas leakage that is taking place. Another approach is to integrate RFID tags in GPS navigating system to indentify the location of RFID tag exactly. 1/3/2009 11 RFID Modules How to identify the Gas? : How to identify the Gas? The outputs of the SAW sensors will go to 3 bit ADC and 3 bit streamline will determine what portion of ROM in RFID will be send to reader. ROM memory of RFID is assigned to different binary numbers so that for each input gas that sensor detects, it generates a specific bit line and send to the reader. Then it’s known by reading the reader’s receiving signal that what gas has been detected by the sensor. 1/3/2009 12 RFID Modules Demonstration using only sensor based tag : Demonstration using only sensor based tag Sensor based RFID 1/3/2009 13 RFID Modules Demonstration using GPS embedded tags : Demonstration using GPS embedded tags Sensor based RFID To navigate the RFID tag 1/3/2009 14 RFID Modules Block diagram of RFID tag integrated with Gas sensor : Block diagram of RFID tag integrated with Gas sensor 1/3/2009 15 RFID Modules All Blocks of RFID only : All Blocks of RFID only 1/3/2009 16 RFID Modules FSK Modulator : FSK Modulator 1/3/2009 17 RFID Modules Clock Regenerator : Clock Regenerator Vin : Sinosoidal wave Vref : VDD Vout : Full GND-VDD Square pulses 1/3/2009 18 RFID Modules 128 bit ROM : 128 bit ROM Using 3 bit Column counter (multiplexer) And 4 bit row counter a (a) (b) (c) a)Simulation result of Column counter b) Row counter c) 128 bit ROM 1/3/2009 19 RFID Modules Simulation result of 128 bit ROM : Simulation result of 128 bit ROM 1/3/2009 20 RFID Modules Concept of DTMOS for very low voltage operation : Concept of DTMOS for very low voltage operation (a) Cross section of an SOI NMOSFET with body and gate tied together.
