Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature sensor technology, and in particular to a temperature sensor that can be used in a microwave field environment. Background Technology

[0002] A temperature transducer is a sensor that converts temperature variables into a standardized, transmittable output signal. Temperature sensors can be broadly classified into contact and non-contact types based on their measurement method, and into resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples based on their sensor materials and electronic component characteristics. They are widely used in temperature detection, monitoring, display, temperature control, and overheat protection. Microwaves refer to electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 300MHz and 300GHz. They are a finite frequency band within radio waves, specifically electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between 1 meter (excluding 1 meter) and 1 millimeter. They are a collective term for decimeter waves, centimeter waves, and millimeter waves. Microwave frequencies are higher than those of ordinary radio waves and are often referred to as ultra-high frequency (UHF) electromagnetic waves.

[0003] Traditional thermocouple temperature sensors cannot obtain stable data in microwave fields and cannot withstand large microwave frequency fluctuations, resulting in inaccurate temperature monitoring. In particular, when working in microwave fields for a long time, the stability of the output data cannot be guaranteed, thus making it impossible for the temperature sensor to accurately monitor the real-time temperature in the microwave field environment.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a temperature sensor that can be used in microwave field environments. Utility Model Content
