Abstract:
A study was performed to assess the viability of using ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) to communicate with subsurface sensors. The results showed that, when the reader operated near the FCC limit, read ranges for the sensorwere greater than a half meter for soil moisture levels of 15% by weight or less. Moisture levels at 15% or greater resulted in significant attenuation or complete loss of signal. Tags also had desireable read ranges for depths up to 15 cm.
