METHOD FOR THE RAPID INTERROGATION OF A PASSIVE SENSOR, IN PARTICULAR OF THE SURFACE ACOUSTIC WAVES TYPE, AND SYSTEM FOR MEASURING THE UNIQUE FREQUENCY OF SUCH A SENSOR

摘要

For passive sensor with resonator having a natural frequency, a method comprises: a first phase emission of an electromagnetic signal toward the passive sensor at an emission frequency, the resonator oscillating in a forced regime at the emission frequency and then oscillating at its natural frequency when the emission is cut off; a first phase reception of the damped signal oscillating at natural frequency emitted by passive sensor, a measurement of the frequency being performed; a second phase emission of an electromagnetic signal at the measured frequency toward the passive sensor, the resonator oscillating in a forced regime at the measured frequency and then oscillating at its natural frequency when the emission is cut off; a second phase reception of the damped signal oscillating at natural frequency, a measurement of the frequency being performed, determination of the natural frequency being stopped due to measurement performed in this second reception phase.
