1. RFID Sensors Faculty Advisor: Dimitrios Peroulis

2.  Maintenance of aircraft consumes a large amount of time and resources  Limited ability for condition monitoring Why ? Smart Bearing! MEMS High Temperature Sensors

3. RFID Typical RFID Sensor Challenges for Engine Monitoring  Wireless communication is complicated by existence of large metallic areas  Sensing + ID  Harsh environment (> 300  C)  No batteries if high temp  Material properties vs. temp

4. VIP Team Fall 2010 NilminiChrisPraveenVivekAmirLeoProf. Peroulis Identified high temperature near-metal RFID tags Tested reading range performances Identified optimal tag placement scheme
