This article presents a highly scalable and rack-mountable wireless sensing system for long-term monitoring (i.e., sense and estimate) of small animal/s' physical state (SAPS), such as changes in location and posture within standard cages. The conventional tracking systems may lack one or more features such as scalability, cost efficiency, rack-mount ability, and light condition insensitivity to work 24/7 on a large scale. The proposed sensing mechanism relies on relative changes of multiple resonance frequencies due to the animal's presence over the sensor unit. The sensor unit can track SAPS changes based on changes in electrical properties in the sensors near fields, appearing in the resonance frequencies, i.e., an Electromagnetic (EM) Signature, within the 200 MHz–300 MHz frequency range. The sensing unit is located underneath a standard mouse cage and consists of thin layers of a reading coil and six resonators tuned at six distinct frequencies. ANSYS HFSS software is used to model and optimize the proposed sensor unit and calculate the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) obtained under 0.05 W/kg. Multiple prototypes have been implemented to test, validate, and characterize the performance of the design by conducting in vitro and in vivo experiments on Mice. The in-vitro test results have shown a 15 mm spatial resolution in detecting the mouse's location over the sensor array having maximum frequency shifts of 832 kHz and posture detection with under 30° resolution. The in-vivo experiment on mouse displacement resulted in frequency shifts of up to 790 kHz, indicating the SAPS's capability to detect the Mice's physical state.
