    Abstract: A wetness sensor includes a substrate that carries a tuned RF circuit. The circuit includes a conductive pattern applied to the substrate, a capacitor, and a jumper all disposed on a same side of the substrate. The conductive pattern includes an inductive coil, and an inner and outer terminus. The jumper electrically couples the inner terminus to the outer terminus. The jumper also includes a frangible link which, when contacted by a target fluid, produces a drastic change in the operation of the RF circuit. The drastic change can be interpreted by a remote reader as a "wet" condition. Contact of the frangible link by the target fluid may change the impedance or resistance of the RF circuit by at least a factor of 5, 10, 100, or more, and/or may cause the frangible link to disintegrate to produce an open circuit, and/or may substantially render the RF circuit inoperative.

    Abstract translation: 湿度传感器包括承载调谐RF电路的基板。 该电路包括施加到衬底的导电图案,电容器和跳线,它们全都布置在衬底的同一侧上。 导电图案包括感应线圈,以及内部和外部终端。 跳线将内部终端电耦合到外部终端。 跳线还包括易碎连接,当与目标流体接触时,该连接产生RF电路操作的剧烈变化。 剧烈的变化可以被远程读者解释为“湿”状态。 易碎连接体与目标流体的接触可以将RF电路的阻抗或电阻改变至少5,10,100倍或更多倍,和/或可以使易碎连接体分裂以产生开路, 和/或可能实质上使RF电路不工作。
