Objective The objective of this effort is to demonstrate the utilization of common-paper substrates for inkjet-printed increased-functionality cognitive and autonomous inexpensive radio frequency tags and wireless nodes. The approach will use a characterization of paper-based materials and different inkjet-metallization schemes to help integrate components (antennas, transmission lines, matching networks, batteries and energy scavengers), with for compatibility of IC-interconnects with paper. Intellectual Merit The intellectual merit of this proposal is the development of the first paper-based inkjet-printed technology platform to integrate RF, antenna, material and battery technologies and develop the first-generation of enhanced-range communication/sensor nodes able to operate in various environments. The scavenging-antenna approach will facilitate the research in autonomous rugged wireless modules and will allow for the first true mapping of potentially harvested energy in commercial bands. Broader Impact The broader impact of this effort would lead to the reconfigurable autonomous sensor networks of the future, addressing various societal challenges (chemical/explosive-detection, crack/stress detection, secure emergency communications, smart logistics, surveillance sensors, biomonitoring). In addition, this effort could revolutionize high-frequency electronics? education offering the opportunity to students to inkjet-print electronic prototypes in minutes with near-to-zero cost without the need of expensive and time-consuming masks introducing them for the first time to the principles of environmentally-friendly electronics. A new senior-level course is planned, along with a dissemination effort in major conferences and through a new textbook in the proposed area. The project is expected to involve a number of minority students.

目的：这项工作的目的是证明利用普通纸张基板的喷墨打印增加功能的认知和自主的廉价的射频标签和无线节点。 该方法将使用纸基材料的特性和不同的喷墨金属化方案来帮助集成组件（天线，传输线，匹配网络，电池和能量清除器），并确保IC互连与纸的兼容性。 该提案的智力优势在于开发了第一个基于纸张的喷墨打印技术平台，以集成射频、天线、材料和电池技术，并开发出能够在各种环境中运行的第一代增强范围通信/传感器节点。 这种扫气天线方法将促进自主式坚固无线模块的研究，并将允许在商业频段中首次真正映射潜在的收获能量。更广泛的影响 这一努力的更广泛影响将导致未来可重新配置的自主传感器网络，解决各种社会挑战（化学/爆炸物检测，裂缝/应力检测，安全应急通信，智能物流，监视传感器，生物监测）。 此外，这一努力可能会彻底改变高频电子产品？教育为学生提供机会，在几分钟内以几乎为零的成本喷墨打印电子原型，而不需要昂贵和耗时的面具，第一次向他们介绍环保电子产品的原理。 沿着还计划举办一个新的高级课程，并在主要会议上进行宣传，并在拟议的领域编写一本新的教科书。 预计该项目将涉及一些少数民族学生。
