Abstract: A battery-free wireless sensor system enables high resolution and very accurate measurements of strain or other transducers with small signal outputs. The system may comprise a sensor tag, associated readers and data processing. The sensor tag may be based on passive RFID, or other passive devices that are powered by RF energy and that communicate with the powering source by backscatter, inductive coupling or reflected energy. The system may include a reader that powers the sensor tags with RF energy and that also wirelessly reads data from and writes data to the sensor tag. The reader software or host software may perform operations on the data that enable more accurate and useable information from the sensor tag. The invention may also include methods for data processes that improve the functionality and performance of the sensor system.
