Clemson University researchers
have designed and developed a highly sensitive and fast responsive
microwave resonant senor for monitoring the presence of gases.
The resonant sensors provide a good frequency shift or sensitivity
on exposure to a number of gases (Ammonia, Carbon-Monoxide,
Oxygen, Nitrogen, Helium). These types of sensors can be used
in microwave remote sensing systems that monitor the changes
in frequency shifts to detect gases. These sensor systems are
important in applications that prohibit the use of physical
connections or require non-destructive testing. |
