Features & Benefits

Basics on SAW -How it works -Features & Benefits -Glossary

Unique features and unmatched benefits

Wireless
Enables measurements on moving and rotating parts
Can be placed in confined and inaccessible places
Avoids costly or impossible cabling
Facilitates placement in harsh environments
Passive
Infinite autonomy
No battery nor energy harvesting
Small and light (e.g.: 5x5mm - 2g)
Maintenance free
Can be embedded into material
Robust
&
Stable
Operates in severe environments – strong electro-magnetic fields, high acceleration, high temperature, explosive, corrosive, radiated environments
Hermetically sealed – e.g. performs even rotating in oil
Maintenance (and re-calibration) free
Calibration free for some applications
Time stable (based on differential structure)
High
performance
Large measurement range (low to high temperature and strain)
Multi-functional sensor - e.g. pressure and temperature
High frequency – e.g. 434, 868-915-950MHz or 2.45GHz
High bandwidth – High sensitivity (e.g. +/- 0.15bar for a 10-bar pressure sensor) - High access data rate (e.g. 2kHz)
Read-out distance of several meters (up to 15m)
Advanced digital transceiver easily connectible to customer systems through standard interface
Continuous interrogation and display
Green
technology
No battery disposal
No chemicals needed for maintenance
No cable or wire disposal
Low profile, miniature, non-invasive
Mature
technology
Very mature technology - millions of filters are produced each day for mobile phones
Low cost in volume manufacturing
Small manufacturing dispersion (+/- 10ppm)
