Position-independent chemical quantitation with passive 13.56-MHz radio frequency identification (RFID) sensors.
Recently, we have demonstrated an attractive approach to adapt conventional radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for multianalyte chemical sensing. These RFID sensors could be very attractive as ubiquitous distributed remote sensor networks. However, critical to the wide acceptance of the demonstrated RFID sensors is the analyte-quantitation ability of these sensors in presence of possible repositioning errors between the RFID sensor and its pickup coil. In this study, we evaluate the capability for such position-independent analyte quantification using multivariate analysis tools. By measuring simultaneously several parameters of the complex impedance from such an RFID sensor and applying multivariate statistical analysis methods, we were able to compensate for the repositioning effects such as baseline signal offset and magnitude of sensor response to an analyte.
