Surface-Acoustic-Wave Sensor Design for Acceleration Measurement

We suggest a concept design of a SAW-based microaccelerometer with an original triangular-shaped console-type sensing element. Our design is particularly optimized to increase the robustness against positioning errors of the SAW resonators on the opposite sides of the console. We also describe the r...
