We propose a passive patch antenna temperature sensor architecture consisting of a transceiver and a passive patch antenna temperature sensor made of RO3003 and Mg2SnO4 ceramic substrates, respectively. The millimeter dielectric properties of Mg2SnO4 ceramic were examined with a view to its use as a wireless high-temperature passive patch antenna temperature sensor. A dielectric constant of 3.97 and a loss factor of 5.42 × 10−2 were obtained for Mg2SnO4 ceramic sintered at 1550 °C for 4 h. We report the development procedures and test results for a passive patch antenna temperature sensor. The resonating frequency and 3 dB bandwidth of the sensor measured at 25 °C were 30.6210 GHz and 1530 MHz, respectively. The measurement resonant frequency decreased from 30.6210 to 30.3790 GHz when the operating temperature increased from 25 to 225 °C, which correspond to a sensitivity and linearity of −1.210 MHz/°C and 0.06%, respectively.
