Fluctuations in the Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) gas sensor for gas detection improving have been investigated. The sensor used in an experiment utilizes an ordinary quartz oscillator with a surface covered by a chemical layer absorbing humidity. The paper presents results of 1/ƒ noise measurements in both types of sensors at different humidity. The prototype QCM sensor and resistive gas sensors of Figaro company were investigated. The results show advantages of this technique for future industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":137085,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations","volume":"188 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116145094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
