In this paper, packaging effects for a one port surface acoustic wave resonator (SAWR) strain sensor are considered. A one port non apodized SAWR fabricated on AT-X quartz is hermetically packaged using commercial off the shelf packages and standard strain gauge adhesives. The package geometry is such to allow the final device to act as a modular general purpose SAWR strain sensor. Calibration of the packaged sensor was performed for a range of temperatures and loading conditions and the results are presented within this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
