SPSXM002PET Smart Passive Sensor for Direct Moisture Sensing Description The SPSXM002PET is a batteryfree wireless sensor for moisture level detection on nonmetal surfaces. Smart Passive Sensors use the www.onsemi.com MagnusS2 Sensor IC from RF Micron, a UHF RFID chip that is powered by RF energy harvesting from the UHF reader. The MagnusS2 utilizes the patented selftuning Chameleon engine that adapts the RF front end to optimize performance in various environmental conditions. Changes in antenna detuning due to moisture contact are digitized by the sensor which can then be read by a standard EPC Gen 2 compliant reader. These sensor tags function in either the FCC defined UHF band or the ETSI UHF band. The small form factor and batteryfree capabilities of Smart Passive Sensors allow them to be designed into applications where size and RF TAG 101.60x31.75MM accessibility are at a premium.

Moisture Contact Test Area Moisture Sensing The SPSXM002 generates sensor codes from 0 to 31, with capability, the sensor code does shift over frequency as it a free space sensor code average of 18. Figure 1 shows the tunes itself to maximize reflected power to the reader. This moisture sensitive portion of the tag used to collect the data makes it important to account for the frequency at which the in Figure 2. The SPSXM002 with a damp cloth over the sensor was read. This factor must be accounted for in the sensor yields a sensor value 5 codes lower than the dry test. reader software in order to ensure reliable wet vs. dry reads. For the moisture test seen in Figure 1, the sensor value shifts For more information on how Smart Passive Sensors approximately 5 codes when water is detected on the surface generate sensor codes, please refer to Application Note of the tag.
