Abstract	In this paper, an autonomous sensor system, with low-power electronics for radio-frequency (RF) communication, incorporating a thermoelectric energy-harvesting module for unattended operation is presented. A target application is proposed for temperature measurement of walled-in pipes. When the autonomous sensor is placed on the heat source, a thermoelectric module harvests energy, powering the autonomous sensor. In this condition, no external power source is necessary, the temperature measurement is performed, and the data are saved into a nonvolatile memory. When the external readout unit is active, the electromagnetic field is used to power the autonomous sensor system and to communicate the data. An experimental setup has been arranged and characterized by measuring the temperature along the pipe, the voltage that can be generated by thermoelectric generators, and the influence of different materials on RF communication. The temperature data of the heat source, which are collected by the autonomous sensor, are compared with that of a reference thermistor. The measurement results show good agreement between the two measured temperature data sets. The experimental data demonstrate that the autonomous system works correctly for a temperature gradient that is higher than 9degC, within a readout distance of a few centimeters. The presented autonomous sensor system can be effectively used for measurements into a close environment in which a temperature difference is present.
