Development Of `Lick And Stick' Passive Wireless Temperature Sensor For Harsh Environment, Hasanul Karim

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

Wireless passive temperature sensors have been receiving increasing attention due to the ever-growing need of higher energy efficient and precise monitoring of temperatures in high temperature energy conversion systems such as gas turbines and coal-based power plants. Unfortunately, the harsh environment such as high temperature and corrosive atmosphere present in these systems has significantly limited the reliability and increased the cost of current solutions. Therefore, this research project presents the concept and design of a low cost, passive, and wireless temperature sensor that can withstand high temperature and harsh environment. The temperature sensor was designed following the principle of metamaterials …
