Application of SAW RFID in the inspection management of aerodrome lights

It is increasingly urgent to improve the intelligent level of the equipment management for modern international airports. This is the first attempt of SAW RFID on aerodrome lights. SAW tag with temperature sensing function and anti-metal patch antennas are designed. The position of the tag fixed in different kinds of lights such as the runway light and the taxiway light is demonstrated. The experimental results show that SAW RFID has been successfully applied to the inspection management of aerodrome light.
