Abstract

High quality factor and impedance-matched surface acoustic wave sensors play a crucial role in temperature measurements in harsh environments such as aircraft engines. The quality factor affects the measurement accuracy of SAW sensors, whereas impedance influences the transmission efficiency of the sensor. This paper presents a SAW temperature sensor with an enhanced quality factor through the precise control of composite film electrode thickness to achieve impedance matching. Compared to conventional sensors, the impedance-optimized SAW temperature sensor exhibits a significantly improved Q factor, increasing from 6915 to 25363, and a matching impedance of 51 Ω and -16°. The error of the SAW temperature sensor ranging from 70 to 1000°C is less than 1%, ensuring reliable performance under extreme conditions.
