A Microwave Pressure Sensor Loaded with Complementary Split Ring Resonator for High-Temperature Applications

Abstract

A passive substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) sensor based on the complementary split ring resonator (CSRR) is presented for pressure detection in high-temperature environments. The sensor pressure sensing mechanism is described through circuit analysis and the electromagnetic coupling principle. The pressure sensor is modeled in high frequency structure simulator (HFSS), designed through parameter optimization. According to the optimized parameters, the sensor was customized and fabricated on a high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) substrate using the three-dimensional co-fired technology and screen-printing technology. The pressure sensor was tested in the high-temperature pressure furnace and can work stably in the ambient environment of 25−500 °C and 10−300 kPa. The pressure sensitivity is 139.77 kHz/kPa at 25 °C, and with increasing temperature, the sensitivity increases to 191.97 kHz/kPa at 500 °C. The temperature compensation algorithm is proposed to achieve accurate acquisition of pressure signals in a high-temperature environment.

Improved Empirical Formula Modeling Method Using Neuro-Space Mapping for Coupled Microstrip Lines

“…With the rapid development of electronic systems, circuit design requires high-performance microwave devices [ 1 ]. Most of the circuit designs are first simulated by simulation software to obtain the desired circuit performance and then physically fabricated [ 2 ]. Simulations not only make it possible to find the appropriate circuit parameters faster but also save labor and production costs in the physical manufacturing process [ 3 ].…”

Bandwidth-Controllable Third-Order Band Pass Filter Using Substrate-Integrated Full- and Semi-Circular Cavities

“…The SIW bandpass filter can work as a pressure sensor since pressure changes are translated into variations in the substrate's dielectric properties. Because of this, the bandpass filter can be used for pressure sensing [52]. Incorporating chemically sensitive materials into the substrate or resonant structures is necessary when using a SIW bandpass filter in chemical sensing applications [53].…”
