β¦ Synopsis
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology is an extremely versatile technique for the development of gas sensors because of the SAW device's sensitivity to a wide variety of material properties that can change with gas concentration. In the present work, a SAW sensor oscillator is described, which allows both of the important SAW properties, velocity and attenuation, to be easily measured. The SAW sensor can be used with a variety of gas-sensing materials to monitor any gases that interact with the sensing materials. The versatility of the sensor is demonstrated by making SAW sensors using hvo gas-sensitive films that work in different ways. A tungsten trioxide (WO,) film with electrical properties that vary with hydrogen sulfide (H,S) exposure has been used to make a SAW H2S sensor, and an organic material that sorbs solvents has been used to demonstrate a SAW acetone sensor.
