초록
본 연구는 915MHz의 UHF (Ultra High Frequency) 대역에서 RF 에너지 하베스팅 기술을 이용하는 풀 패시브 스마트 센서태그 개발을 목표로 한다. 다양한 방사 조건에서 전력수집을 최적화하기 위해, 최대전력점추적(MPPT: maximum power point tracking)을 활용하는 효율적인 에너지 하베스팅 모듈이 사용된다. 특히 제안하는 태그는 에너지 획득과 데이터 전송 능력 향상을 위해 두개의 직교 안테나를 사용한다. 실험 결과 개발된 스마트 센서태그는 4m 거리에서 DC 3.6V 출력을 위해 0.19mW 정도의 낮은 입력 RF 전력을 획득 할 수 있음을 보인다. 더욱이 제안하는 스마트 센서태그는 저전력 센서어레이로 2m 거리에서 무전원 식품 신선도 모니터링을 완벽하게 실현가능하다.
Abstract
This study aims to develop a fully passive smart sensing tag utilizing RF (Radio Frequency) energy harvesting technology at UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band of 915MHz. To optimize the power collected under various radiated conditions, an efficient energy harvesting module exploiting a boost circuit with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is employed. Specifically, the proposed tag features two orthogonal antennas to enhance its capability of both energy scavenging and data transmissions. The experimental result shows that the developed smart sensor tag can scavenge an RF input power of as low as 0.19mW at a distance of 4 meters for a 3.6Vdc output. Furthermore, the proposed smart sensor tag performs the feasibility of completely autonomous monitoring food freshness at 2 meters with a low-power sensor array.
