1. A method for re-calibration of individual multivariable sensor nodes in a sensor network, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more environmental parameters of interest that are monitored by the multivariable sensor nodes;
identifying one or more interference parameters of interest that produce an interference response by the multivariable sensor nodes;
measuring responses from the multivariable sensor nodes in response to exposure to one or more environmental parameters of interest;
determining a response relation between the environmental parameters of interest and response of the multivariable sensor nodes;
determining a response relation between the one or more interference parameters and response of the multivariable sensor nodes;
reducing a number of bits for analog to digital conversion to reduce a total power consumption of one or more individual multivariable sensor nodes in the sensor network; and
determining a response relation between the environmental parameters of interest in the presence of the one or more interference parameters and response of the multivariable sensor nodes.

Abstract
A method for multivariable measurements using a single-chip impedance analyzer includes providing a sensor, exposing the sensor to an environmental parameter, determining a complex impedance of the sensor over a measured spectral frequency range of the sensor, and monitoring at least three spectral parameters of the sensor.
