Description

A kind of surface acoustic wave wireless temperature sensor of integrated form
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of surface acoustic wave (surface acoustic wave:SAW) temperature sensor of integrated electronic label, particularly relate to a kind of radio temperature sensor that adopts the SAW reflective delay line of control electrode width single phase unidirectional transducer and short-circuit gate reflector structure.
Background technology
The linear correlation relation that the velocity of propagation of SAW exists with temperature is Δ v=v 0* TCD * (T-T ref), wherein TCD is the first-order lag temperature coefficient (depending on the crystal structure of piezoelectric substrate material and tangential) of piezoelectric substrate, Δ v is velocity variations, v 0Be SAW speed, T refBe reference temperature.Utilizing like this some higher temperature coefficients is piezoelectric substrate such as the LiNbO of high TCD value 3, LiTaO 3And La 3Ga 5SiO 4Can realize the detection to temperature.In recent years, by means of wireless recognition technique, a kind of SAW reflective delay line begins to be applied to the SAW radio temperature sensor and uses.this SAW reflective delay line by a piezoelectric substrate with consist of (its reverberator number depends on practical application) along an interdigital transducer and several reverberators of Acoustic Wave Propagation direction setting, interdigital transducer receives the electromagnetic wave signal that comes from wireless reading unit (Reader unit) emission by wireless antenna, and convert to along the SAW of piezoelectric substrate surface propagation, and reflected by reverberator, the SAW of reflection converts electromagnetic wave signal to again by interdigital transducer, send it back wireless reading unit by wireless antenna, cause the linear response of SAW reflective delay line time domain phase place due to the linear correlation of SAW speed and temperature, realize radio detection to temperature with this.
As an example, conventional structure is applied to a SAW reflective delay line 1 of radio temperature sensor, comprise a piezoelectric substrate, with an interdigital transducer of making of semiconductor planar technique on piezoelectric substrate and three reverberators that arrange along the Acoustic Wave Propagation direction, as shown in Figure 1, wherein 9 is piezoelectric substrate, 2 is interdigital transducer, 3,4 and 5 is three reverberators, and the distance between reverberator 3 and interdigital transducer 2 and reverberator is determined according to delay requirement.6,7 and 8 are respectively from first, second and the 3rd reflection echo signal of reverberator 3,4 and 5 reflections.Piezoelectric substrate 9 adopts the LiNbO with high-temperature coefficient usually 3, LiTaO 3Deng material, utilize it to the high sensitivity of temperature, acoustic velocity presents linear change with the variation of peripheral environment temperature, thereby causes SAW reflective delay line reflection coefficient S 11Time domain time delay/phase response, realize detection to temperature with this.
The frequency of operation based on this SAW reflective delay line of prior art be the prototype SAW radio temperature sensor sensing range of 2.4GHz in (room temperature~200 ℃), its sensitivity has reached 34 °/℃, and has obtained the temperature detection resolution less than 0.1K.Because this SAW temperature sensor is made of individual devices, simple in structure, adopt as document 1:L.M.Reindl:Wireless measurement of temperature using surface acoustic wave sensors, IEEE Trans.UFFC, 51,1457-1463 (2004). described three reflector structures and corresponding signal processing method can effectively be eliminated the signal ambiguity that occurs owing to surpassing 360 degree in phase-detection, might obtain good temperature control and improve; Adopt in addition phase place as sensor output signal, have higher sensitivity resolution, and device itself can realize definitely passively, be suitable for working under hot conditions, therefore this SAW radio temperature sensor has a good application prospect, and causes the great interest of people.for this wireless SAW temperature sensor, the design of SAW reflective delay line has directly determined the property indices of sensor, sensing range etc. particularly, because the rising along with temperature, also corresponding increase of Acoustic Wave Propagation decay, directly translate into the loss of time domain response S11 of SAW reflective delay line with temperature (the document 2:R.S.Hauser that raises, et al:A wireless SAW-based temperature sensor for harsh environment, Proceeding of IEEE Sensors, Vol.2pp:860-863, 2004), this just needs a kind of low-loss, high s/n ratio and have the SAW reflection model lag line at the steep sharp-pointed Time Domain Reflectometry of homogeneous peak.But be applied at present the SAW reflective delay line of radio temperature sensor because there is larger problem in device structure design, for example:
1. what the interdigital transducer 2 that adopts of above-mentioned conventional SAW reflective delay line 1 adopted is a kind of bidrectional transducer structure, causes sound wave two-way propagation, thereby has increased the acoustic propagation loss (generally all 50~60dB); Signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is lower, this has just badly influenced the temperature detection scope and the wireless distance that reads (is inverse relation with device loss, document 3:C.E.Cook, M.Bernfeld:Radar signals, Norwood, MA, Artech House, 1993), more directly had influence on the temperature detection scope of sensor.In addition, the reflective delay line of prior art fails to realize steep sharp-pointed reflection coefficient S 11The Time Domain Reflectometry peak, this just is unfavorable for the accurate extraction of time domain delay time signal, thereby causes the relatively large deviation of detection signal.
2. the common employing of conventional SAW reflective delay line 1 of the above-mentioned SAW of being applied to radio temperature sensor refers to that singly type or interdigital transducer type are as the reverberator of lag line.Therefore the reverberator of interdigitation has larger reflection coefficient, can improve preferably device loss and signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio), but due to interdigital electrode refer between reflection and acoustic-electric regeneration cause larger noise in time domain.The reverberator that singly refers to type can reduce the device noise in time domain, but less reflection coefficient causes device loss larger, and signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is low.
3. due to Acoustic Wave Propagation decay, it is poor that the long travel path of lag line causes being derived from the reflection peak homogeneity of each reverberator usually, from transducer more away from, its loss is larger, signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is lower, directly has influence on the extraction of time domain delay time signal.
4. present, an important development trend of sensing system is the integrated of function, is conducive to like this to realize the real-time detection to many reference amounts, also is conducive to system's miniaturization and portable realization; And the existing radio temperature sensor function singleness that adopts the SAW reflective delay line; Therefore, it has directly hindered some performance improvements and the practical application of SAW radio temperature sensor.
