access icon free SAW sensors heat up

Surface acoustic wave resonators for wireless battery-free sensing in harsh environments are under development by researchers at the University of Maine in the US. Their system, which uses frequency multiplexing for multiple-access, is designed for long term operation up to at least 900°C and could find significant application in space exploration, the energy sector, industrial environment, and oil and gas exploration.
