Abstract :

The wireless measurement methods with batteryless systems are very attractive in harsh environments. In this paper the design method of a double surface acoustic sensor system at the high temperature is discussed. The design methods of meander inductor and interdigital capacitor, which are used in the matching circuit of the system, at the high temperature are introduced. The method of second level interconnection of these devices, using the coplanar waveguide is discussed. The implementation of this system by thick film method is mentioned and finally the measurement results of this system up to 410C are presented.
