It is demonstrated experimentally and practically that the substrate material plays a significant role in microwave sensor's characteristics. As a generic planar ring resonator, a passive microwave ring resonator with a slit is used to illustrate that a low permittivity substrate has a significantly higher sensitivity to permittivity variation in its environment, compared with a substrate with higher permittivity. Extensively, it is demonstrated that the same sensitivity analysis regarding substrate dielectric properties can be extended to active resonators, which have a higher quality factor and resolution than passive structures.","PeriodicalId":447985,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131611275","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}

The resonant frequency and Q-factor of each RLC sensor is dependent on change of stored energy and loss in response to the parameter of interest. One challenge with these types of sensors is mutual coupling between coils and thus interdependence of parameters. In order to null mutual coupling between coils and reduce sensing area the coils are stacked in a designed overlapping configuration. The configuration enables the response of each sensor and thus sensed parameters to be independent. The swept frequency impedance response of an interrogator coil, inductively coupled to the sensors, remotely tracks the parameters of each sensor. EM simulation and experiments with a two-parameter (relative humidity and temperature) sensor shows the stacked overlapping structure accomplishes narrow-band multi-parameter sensing without substantial increase in size. The approach has application in flexible thin-film substrate printed sensors.","PeriodicalId":447985,"journal":{"name":"2016 17th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123956791","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}
