1. A RFID sensor assembly comprising:
- a chip;
an antenna;
a sensor;
at least one electrical lead;
a laminated layer;
a substrate;
wherein the chip is in electrical contact with the antenna and communication with the sensor and can measure a property of a sensor material to determine properties or conditions of an environment surrounding the sensor;
wherein the chip, antenna, sensor, and at least one electrical lead is secured to the substrate;
wherein the laminated layer is arranged as to create a generally sealed pouch between the substrate and the laminated layer; and
wherein the laminated layer is arranged to facilitate a post-manufacturing method for exposing the contents of the pouch to the environments surround the RFID sensor assembly.

Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, an RFID sensor assembly comprises an RFID chip, an antenna, a sensor, a substrate, and a laminated layer. The RFID chip is in electrical communication with the antenna and the sensor. The RFID chip, antenna, and sensor are secured to the substrate. The laminated layer is arranged as to create a generally airtight pouch between the substrate and the laminate layer. The laminated layer is further arranged to facilitate a post manufacturing method for exposing the contents of the pouch to the environment surrounding the RFID sensor assembly.
