A novel wireless passive SAW temperature and pressure sensor is designed, based on the SAW delay line theory. The effect of the temperature is included in the pressure feedback signal and a weighted factor is introduced in order to separate the temperature effect from the feedback signal. Therefore, the temperature and pressure can be accurately measured at the same time. In this sensor design, the energy converted from IDT is fully used, and the interference between the signals is minimized. The IDT and its reflectors have been optimally designed to improve the sensitivity of the sensor. This wireless passive sensor is capable of working under complicated and hard conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
