Item type:Publication, Non-destructive determination of coconut oil using microwave dielectric constant sensing(2019-01-01); Coconut oil demand for food, medical and cosmetic uses is increasing. Analyses of quality using non-destructive tools would be useful, and therefore, wireless sensing using high frequency to determine the percentage of coconut oil has been tested. The proposed sensing is based on the wireless power transmission and the penetration of the ultrahigh frequency wave. The system operates with the microwave transceiver that generates wireless power and receives the backscatter power from a sensor placed on a coconut. A transceiver at microwave frequency of 920-925 MHz with low power level was used to avoid affecting coconut quality. Wireless microwave dielectric constant sensing was used with reasonable accuracy to determine the percentage of the coconut oil. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Characteristics of specifically designed tags placed on a dielectric material(2014-01-01); ; Torrungrueng, DanaiA proposed folded dipole tag antenna for a radio frequency identification (RFID) sensor system is employed to determine qualities of a material under test (MUT). In this paper, a study on the characteristics of specifically designed tags (SDTs) placed on a dielectric material with a gap is presented. The CST Microwave Studio is used to study characteristics of these SDTs in the presence of an MUT near or contact with SDTs. Simulated results show that different SDTs provide different characteristics depending on MUTs. © 2014 IEEE. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

To determine qualities of a dielectric material under test (MUT) with a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique, a proposed meander-line dipole tag antenna is employed as a RFID sensor. The design and optimum parameters of the proposed RFID sensor are obtained using the CST Microwave Studio program. In this paper, instead of focusing on the scalar backscattered power based on the Friis transmission equation, we are also studying the RCS range equation to utilize for improve the accuracy of determination a qualities of MUT in a RFID sensor system. Simulated results show that the characteristics of the proposed RFID sensor such as the input impedance, antenna gain, power transmission coefficient and RCS. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Curved meander line resonators for chipless RFID sensors(2019-09-01); ; ;Akkaraekthalin, PrayootTorrungrueng, DanaiThis paper presents a chipless RFID sensor based on the curved meander line resonator. The sensor is designed and printed on Fr4-substrate with thickness of 0.8 mm. The resonator on the RFID sensor acts as a data bit for identification, where we use only one bit in this paper for illustration. Transmitting and receiving antennas on the RFID sensor are properly designed to sense the dielectric property of the material under test. From the results, it can operate from 1.8-2.5 GHz. The gain is 2.14 dBi at the resonant frequency of 2.28 GHz. Therefore, it can be candidate as a RFID sensor with a nondestructive testing technique. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A compact loop antenna with parasitic split ring for UHF RFID application(2013-05-27) ;Lertsakwimarn, Kittima; This paper presents a compact loop antenna with parasitic split ring for the reader of the UHF RFID application. The proposed antenna is made up of the rectangular loop structure (feeding element) and the parasitic split ring to reduce the overall antenna dimension. It is found that the size can be decreased by 50% of the typical single loop antenna. The simulation is carried out by using CST Microwave Studio program based on the Finite Integral Technique (FIT). Furthermore, the antenna parameters are optimized using the Quasi Newton method. The effect of the antenna parameters on the impedance bandwidth are investigated in this paper. The comparison between the simulation and experimental results are also discussed. From the results, the antenna has the S<inf>11</inf> less than -10 dB along the bandwidth of 12MHz (1.6%). It can be operated in UHF RFID system in Thailand with the frequency band from 920MHz to 925 MHz. The omnidirectional beam is obtained with the maximum gain of 1.5 dBi at the center frequency of 922.5 MHz. The antenna is designed on FR4-substrate. The overall size of the proposed antenna is 51mm x 38mm x 0.8mm (0.15λx 0.11λx 0.02̧). It is easily embedded inside handheld reader. Moreover, the proposed antenna is simple structure, low profile and easy fabrication. Therefore, the compact loop antenna with parasitic split ring can be employed with a handheld UHF RFID reader.

Item type:Publication, Determination of dielectric property of construction material products using a novel RFID sensor(2012-01-01); ; ;Torrungrueng, D.This paper presents a concept, by which radio frequency (RF) tags are employed as remotely read dielectric-property sensors to determine qualities of some construction material products (CMPs); e.g., light weight concrete (LWC), mortar specimens and concrete. Using the dependency of the read range of the passive RF identification (RFID) sensor system on the electromagnetic properties of CMPs near or in contact with RFID tags, the qualities of CMPs can be determined through their estimated dielectric properties. Theoretical formulation is provided, and numerical simulations are performed for optimal design of passive RFID tag antennas suitable for RFID sensors and for read-range calculations. In addition, a series of measurements is performed to measure read ranges of the passive RFID sensor system for an LWC as an example of CMPs, and these measured read ranges will be processed appropriately to inversely determine the dielectric constant of the LWC under test, which in turn provides information on its qualities. It is found that the novel RFID sensor can be employed to determine the dielectric properties of the LWC under test with reasonable accuracy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
