WIRELESS SENSOR FOR ELECTROMAGNETICALLY SHIELDED APPLICATIONS AND METHOD OF COMMUNICATION

摘要

A wireless sensor system is described which can be used to measure temperature and/or pressure within an electromagnetically shielded environment. The sensor system includes an embedded processor which intermittently transmits data from the sensors. In electromagnetically shielded environments, the processor transmits the data when the electromagnetically shielding components are moved into a non-shielding configuration.

主权项

1. A sensor system comprising:
a body; a pressure and/or temperature sensor disposed within the body and forming at least partially defining an exterior surface of the sensor system; a processor coupled to the pressure and/or temperature sensor, disposed within the body, wherein the processor collects data from the pressure and/or temperature sensor during use; an RF module, disposed within the body, coupled to the processor, wherein the RF module produces RF signals for transmitting data related to the pressure and/or temperature detected by the pressure and/or temperature sensors; an antenna, disposed within the body, coupled to the RF module; and a power supply coupled to the processor and the RF module.
