Abstract

See full text

One feature pertains to a sensor apparatus that comprises a conductor configured to perform at least one operation unrelated to the sensor apparatus. These operations may include at least one of providing structural support to a system unrelated to the sensor apparatus, and/or providing a non-sensing signal to the system unrelated to the sensor apparatus. The sensor apparatus also comprises at least one sensor configured to perform a sensing operation for the sensor apparatus that generates sensor data, and an interrogation circuit configured to interrogate the sensor by transmitting an interrogation signal to the sensor via the conductor. The sensor apparatus further comprises a processing circuit that receives from the sensor via the conductor a sensor response signal that includes the sensor data, where the sensor response signal is received in response to interrogating the sensor.
