摘要

Most of the research on applications of wireless surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors has focused on the fabrication process. No detailed theoretical models have been developed to illustrate the time and frequency domain characteristics of SAW devices. In this paper, the generalized model of the wireless SAW sensor is established by using the coupling-of-modes (COM) model together with the wave equations. The generalized model is developed to analyze four main applications, which include tag-ID design, the bio-reaction process, tension measurement and temperature sensing. Both the time response and frequency response are investigated to determine the appropriate signal processing for different applications. It is found that for the time response using the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) is more suitable for tag-ID and the phase shift is better for bio-sensing, tension and temperature sensing. Furthermore, the developed model can be utilized to expedite the design process for wireless sensing devices.
