Differentiation and identification of analogous chemical or biological substances with biosensors
First Claim
1. An RFID biosensor detection system for detecting particular substances, said system having:
- an interrogator circuit to transmit a radio frequency signal;
a piezoelectric material;
an input transducer mounted on the piezoelectric material to receive an input radio frequency signal and propagate a corresponding acoustic wave within the piezoelectric material;
at least two chemically orthogonal or semi-orthogonal biolayers mounted on the piezoelectric material to receive substances to be tested and cause corresponding changes in the acoustic wave;
an output transducer mounted on the piezoelectric material to receive the acoustic wave and transmit a corresponding output radio frequency signal;
a receiver circuit to receive the corresponding output radio frequency signal and provide separate channel data indicative of the substances received; and
a processing system to initiate an interrogation procedure.

Abstract
An RFID biosensor detection system for detecting particular substances has an interrogator circuit to transmit a radio frequency signal, an input transducer mounted on a piezoelectric material to receive an input radio frequency signal and propagate a corresponding acoustic wave within the piezoelectric material. At least two chemically orthogonal or semi-orthogonal biolayers are mounted on the piezoelectric material to receive substances to be tested and cause corresponding changes in the acoustic wave. An output transducer is mounted on the piezoelectric material to receive the acoustic wave and transmit a corresponding output radio frequency signal. A receiver circuit receives the corresponding output radio frequency signal and provides separate channel data indicative of the substances received.
