Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] Embodiments are generally related to sensing devices and techniques. Embodiments are also related to interdigital surface wave sensor devices, such as, for example, surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices and sensors. Embodiments also relate to tire pressure and temperature sensors utilized for monitoring vehicle tires. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Acoustic wave sensors are utilized in a number of sensing applications, such as, for example, temperature, pressure and / or gas sensing devices and systems. Examples of surface wave sensors include devices such as acoustic wave sensors, which can be utilized to detect the presence of substances, such as chemicals. An acoustic wave (e.g., SAW / BAW) device acting as a sensor can provide a highly sensitive detection mechanism due to the high sensitivity to surface loading and the low noise, which results from their intrinsic high Q factor.
[0003] Surface acoustic wave devices are typically ...
