• Abstract:
  The overarching goal of the proposed research was to develop, test and verify a robust system based on the Low Frequency (134.2 ; kHz), passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to be ultimately used for determining the maximum scour depths ; near the proposed flow deflection structures located at MP 100.7 on the Skagit River. For the purposes of this study, a RFID ; system was assembled and utilized for developing calibration curves that relate signal voltage or equivalently RSSI (Received ; Signal Strength Indicator) with distance via detailed experiments for a range of stream bed conditions (i.e., gravel- and sand-size ; bed material) in laboratory and quarry environments.
