A typical RFID system includes an antenna, an RFID chip, and a reader/writer, and the tag does not need to be powered by a battery, and is powered by an interrogation signal of the reader/writer through electromagnetic wave coupling, and generates an induced current inside the tag for other circuits inside the tag to use, and performs signal transmission in a reflection manner. Based on the reasons, a temperature-sensitive resistor or a temperature-sensitive diode can be integrated in the RFID chip circuit to realize the RFID temperature measurement label. Such as: the patent application with publication number CN107239816A proposes to realize wireless and passive temperature measurement of a switch cabinet by using an ultrahigh frequency RFID temperature measurement tag technology.

As shown in fig. 3, the current detection circuit includes a reference voltage source, a low swing operational amplifier, an oscillator, a frequency divider, a counter, and other modules, and can perform operation and processing on the current variation data of the accessed impedance load.
The sensing head can be an impedance type temperature sensing head or an impedance type gas sensing head, and the impedance of the sensing head changes along with the change of the external temperature or the gas concentration. The temperature sensing head can adopt a silicon bare chip or other substrate bare chips with a platinum resistance wire structure on the surface, and the gas sensing head is a silicon bare chip or other substrate bare chip with an interdigital electrode structure on the surface and a certain gas sensitive film coated on the surface. The power consumption of the sensitive head should be lower than 100 nW.
The antenna substrate can adopt a rigid substrate or a flexible substrate, and a copper-clad or aluminum-clad radio frequency antenna is manufactured on the rigid substrate or the flexible substrate. Compared with the traditional RFID antenna, the antenna substrate provided by the invention needs to additionally manufacture the electrode bonding pads according to the number and the layout of the ports of the special RFID chip and the ports of the sensitive head. Through the electrode bonding pads, physical integration and signal interconnection of the radio frequency antenna, the special RFID chip and the sensitive head are realized.
