Abstract

A printed RFID sensor tag contains: a substrate, a RFID sensor arranged on a top of the substrate, and a protective layer covering the RFID sensor. The RFID sensor includes a RFID sensing antenna and a chip adhered on the RFID sensing antenna. The RFID sensing antenna is partially or totally made of conductive sensing ink/glue printed on the top of the substrate, and the conductive sensing ink/glue consists of conductive ink/glue and multiple sensing materials.
