This paper discusses a temperature-dependent characterization of deep reactive ion-etched 10 kΩ cm high-resistive silicon (DRIE HR-Si), 3D printed alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and milled Rogers RT/Duroid ® 6010.2LM. The characterization is performed by measuring high-Q photonic crystal resonator samples in W-band and the measurements are taken from 30 °C to 115 °C. HR-Si is the material with the lowest losses at room temperature. However, its losses increase with temperature and become higher than 3D printed alumina at 75 °C, reducing the radar cross-section and maximum readout range of chipless wireless RFID tags integrating several of these resonators. These results demonstrate that, while HR-Si performance is higher for the usual temperatures achieved in an indoor localization scenario, 3D printed alumina is more suitable if a temperature-stable response is needed or if the tags need to operate at high temperatures, such as in case of fire.

Einwandige Kohlenstoffnanoröhren ( single-walled carbon nanotubes , SWCNTs) sind vielseitig einsetzbare Bausteine für Biosensoren, die im nahen Infrarot (NIR) fluoreszieren. Ihre Oberfläche kann chemisch so modifiziert werden, dass sie auf Analyten mit einer Veränderung ihrer Fluoreszenz reagieren. Intensitätsbasierte Signale werden jedoch leicht durch äußere Faktoren wie Bewegungen der Probe beeinflusst. Hier zeigen wir Fluoreszenz-Lebensdauer Mikroskopie ( fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy , FLIM) von SWCNT-basierten Sensoren im NIR. Dafür wurde ein konfokales Laser-Scanning-Mikroskop (CLSM) für NIR-Signale (>800 nm) angepasst und zeitkorrelierte Einzelphotonenzählung von (GT) 10 -DNA-funktionalisierten SWCNTs verwendet. (GT) 10 -SWCNTs fungieren als Sensoren für den wichtigen Neurotransmitter Dopamin. Ihre Fluoreszenzlebensdauer (>900 nm) fällt biexponentiell ab, wobei die längere Lebensdauerkomponente (370 ps) mit steigender Dopaminkonzentration um bis zu 25 % ansteigt. Mit diesen Sensoren können Zellen beschichtet werden, um extrazelluläres Dopamin in 3D mittels FLIM zu messen. Wir demonstrieren damit das Potenzial der Fluoreszenzlebensdauer als Messgröße für SWCNT-basierte NIR-Sensoren.

For many RFID applications it is desirable to get more information about an item than the unique ID, e.g. the position of a unique item often is of great interest. In this paper we present first simulation results of a novel method for measuring the distance between a reader and commercial off-the-shelf tags. This implies that the communication between a reader and a tag or a bulk of tags is not influenced or interrupted by this novel distance measuring method. It is expected to achieve a distance measuring accuracy of about 1% referred to the maximum communication distance between a reader and a tag. Additionally to the state-of-the-art RFID communication principle, which uses a well-known amplitude modulated (amplitude modulated due to the data transmission from reader to tag) RFID carrier, this novel measuring method uses an overlaid phase modulation. For the measuring principle to work it is important that the wavelength corresponding to the data rate of the phase modulation is not higher than twice the distance between reader and tag. If this condition is truly fulfilled, the phase information of the phase modulated signal will be clearly corresponding to the distance between reader and tag. The reader transmits the phase information to the tag which is returned to the reader due to the backscatter modulation. In a coherent reader structure the phase difference between the transmitted and received baseband signal can be used to calculate the distance from reader to tag. This distance calculation could be realized by correlation. Therefore the cross-correlated of the transmitted and received phase information can be subtracted from the auto correlation of the transmitted phase information. In case of this the distance can be calculated.

t a novel miniaturized multi sensor implant for monitoring hemodynamic parameters in cardiovascular regions. Pressure measurements are performed with a highly accurate capacitive pressure sensor. An additional acceleration and temperature sensor allows compensating the impact of patient's inclination and temperature variations on the pressure measurement, respectively. A multi-functional transponder application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) manages sensor signal processing, storage of ID, sensor calibration data, telemetric energy, and data transmission with an extracorporeal reading unit. Each component of the implant is assembled on a low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) circuit board with an integrated antenna coil enabling an inductive near-field coupling at a frequency of 13.56 MHz. For a streamlined shape and reduction of thrombogenicity, the implant is encapsulated by biocompatible polymers.

Biosensors are powerful tools for modern basic research and biomedical diagnostics. Their development requires substantial input from the chemical sciences. Sensors or probes with an optical readout, such as fluorescence, offer rapid, minimally invasive sensing of analytes with high spatial and temporal resolution. The near-infrared (NIR) region is beneficial because of the reduced background and scattering of biological samples (tissue transparency window) in this range. In this context, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have emerged as versatile NIR fluorescent building blocks for biosensors. Here, we provide an overview of advances in SWCNT-based NIR fluorescent molecular sensors. We focus on chemical design strategies for diverse analytes and summarize insights into the photophysics and molecular recognition. Furthermore, different application areas are discussed—from chemical imaging of cellular systems and diagnostics to in vivo applications and perspectives for the future.
