PCT100 Powercast High-Function RFID Sensor Tag DESCRIPTION The PCT100 SuperTag is a high-function RFID tag capable of measuring temperature, humidity, and light level with high accuracy. The tag harnesses the capability of the Powercast Powerharvester Chipset to enable long range, high-function RFID all without the need for an on-board battery. The tags are designed to maximize the RF to DC conversion efficiency of the energy provided by an RFID reader. Using this energy, sensor measurements can be taken and then read back out of the tags memory using any standard UHF RFID reader. Powercasts technology enables a completely maintenance-free and battery- free sensing and tracking solution for UHF APPLICATIONS RFID applications.
