RADFIT
With RADFIT for the first CTR provides a system for wireless temperature measurement as well as for RF identification.Based on SAW (surface acoustic wave) technology you get a unique set of properties for a wide field of industrial applications:
- Range – Reading distances are far greater than for usual CMOS based systems. By using slot antennae high ranges can be reached on metal surfaces. Specifically aligned transponders enable radio operation even if they are embedded in metal.
- Robust – Transponder operation under severe conditions, e.g. at extreme temperatures, in strong electric or magnetic fields or at high levels of ionising radiation
- Temperature rugged – The ability to sense temperatures ranging from the cryogenic to well beyond 300°C. With suitable isolation this value can be increased to even higher temperature ranges for RFID applications.
- absolutely passive - Transponder and sensor are totally maintenance free during their lifetime and work without any power supply such as batteries
