Abstract

Two-dimensional (2-D) strain sensor utilizing surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices is demonstrated. SAW devices offer many attractive features for applications as chemical and physical sensors. In this paper, a novel SAW strain sensor that employs SAW delay lines has been designed. Two crossed delay lines were used to measure the two-dimensional strain. A wireless sensing system is also proposed for effective operation of the strain sensor.
