SAW Technology

Basics on SAW How it works Features & Benefits Glossary

Breakthrough technology allowing new measurements

Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology provides innovative sensing solutions to overcome the limitations of traditional measuring systems.
Where classic sensors depend on power sources and wires to operate, SENSeOR’s SAW sensors are entirely passive and perform precision measurements (temperature, pressure, stress) wirelessly.

Wireless operation of the SAW sensors without any energy source (no battery or energy harvesting)
For use on moving and rotating part
In places hard or impossible to reach
Avoiding wires
Environment friendly

Very robust, stable, environment independent SAW sensors
For use at very high and low temperatures
In places with strong electrical or magnetic fields
For little or no re-calibration
Maintenance-free

Large measurement range and high sensitivity
Low- to high-temperature and stress measurement with high sensitivity
New limits for metrological sensitivity
Multi-measurement with a single SAW sensor (i.e. temperature and pressure)

Based on a mature technology
SENSeOR's SAW sensors are based on the technology used to produce millions of SAW filters daily for many years
