Temperature measurement system employing an electromagnetic transponder and separate impedance-changing parasitic antenna
Abstract:
Temperature measurement systems (20) include a temperature sensor (22) and an electronic signal interrogator (24). The temperature sensor (22) has a transponder (26) equipped with an antenna (28), and a separate parasitic antenna (32) with a temperature-sensitive transducer (34, 68-74, 78a-84a), while the interrogator (24) has a transmitter (42) and antenna (40). The sensor (22) is designed to be placed in thermal contact with an object to be temperature-measured, with the interrogator (24) placed in proximity to the object. The systems (20) may be used with food servingware domes (88, 114), which can be preheated and placed over a food-bearing plate to maintain the temperature of the food.
