  • Biodegradable soil sensor, system and method
    Patent number: 9964532
    Abstract: A biodegradable soil sensor, a biodegradable soil sensing system and method for obtaining soil information is provided. The biodegradable sensor may include one or more electrically conductive bioinert traces and a biodegradable substrate having a printed circuit of the one or more electrically conductive bioinert traces. A biodegradable antenna may be formed by at least one of the one or more electrically conductive bioinert traces. A sensor may be connected to the one or more electrically conductive bioinert traces. The sensor may also include a biodegradable encapsulation layer housing the biodegradable substrate and the electrically conductive bioinert traces.
    Type: Grant
