An interrogation system transmits a series of radio frequency signals with sweeping frequencies around the known resonant frequency to the passive wireless antenna sensor, while simultaneously pulsing a laser to switch the passive wireless antenna sensor between a first state and a second state in which it is exposed to open-circuit or short-circuit conditions. A signal is reflected from the passive wireless antenna sensor in each of the first and second states, and a resonant frequency of the passive wireless antenna sensor is determined by normalizing the received signals to isolate the antenna mode. | 05-03-2012 |
