Title: Microstrip patch antenna for simultaneous strain and temperature sensing

Abstract

A patch antenna, consisting of a radiation patch, a dielectric substrate, and a ground plane, resonates at distinct fundamental frequencies that depend on the substrate dielectric constant and the dimensions of the radiation patch. Since these parameters change with the applied strain and temperature, this study investigates simultaneous strain and temperature sensing using a single antenna that has two fundamental resonant frequencies. The theoretical relationship between the antenna resonant frequency shifts, the temperature, and the applied strain was first established to guide the selection of the dielectric substrate, based on which an antenna sensor with a rectangular radiation patch was designed and fabricated. A tensile test specimen instrumented with the antenna sensor was subjected to thermo-mechanical tests. Experiment results validated the theoretical predictions that the normalized antenna resonant frequency shifts are linearly proportional to the applied strain and temperature changes. As a result, an inverse method was developed to determine the strain and temperature changes from the normalized antenna resonant frequency shifts, yielding measurement uncertainty of 0.4 °C and 17.22 μϵ for temperature and strain measurement, respectively.

Microstrip patch antenna for simultaneous temperature sensing and superstrate characterization

Journal Article Tchafa, F. Mbanya ; Huang, H. - Smart Materials and Structures

This paper investigates a microstrip patch antenna for measuring the thickness and dielectric constant of the medium above the antenna (i.e. the superstrate) as well as the temperature. The intended application is simultaneous sensing of ash accumulation and temperature inside a boiler, with the aim of enhancing safety, improving efficiency, and reducing downtime associated with maintenance. A patch antenna, consisting of a dielectric substrate, a radiation patch, and a ground plane, functions as an electromagnetic resonator with specific fundamental frequencies. A dielectric medium placed above the patch antenna changes its effective dielectric constant and thus its resonant frequencies. Meanwhile, temperaturemore »« less

Simultaneous Strain and Temperature Sensing using a Microstrip Patch Antenna

Conference TCHAFA, FRANCK MBANYA ; Huang, Haiying

In this paper, we present simultaneous strain and temperature sensing using a single microstrip patch antenna fabricated on commercial printed circuit board (PCB). Temperature and strain are extracted from the resonant frequencies of the patch antenna as these frequencies are dependent on the dielectric constant of the PCB and the patch dimensions, which are subject to change with applied strain and temperature variations. The principle of operation of the patch antenna is first discussed, followed by the design and fabrication of the instrumented test specimen. Finally, thermal and mechanical tests were conducted to validate the strain and temperature sensing performancemore » of the antenna sensor« less

Far-Field Interrogation of Microstrip Patch Antenna for Temperature Sensing Without Electronics

Journal Article Yao, Jun ; Mbanya Tchafa, Franck ; Jain, Ankur ; ... - IEEE Sensors Journal

Temperature sensing without electronics is demonstrated through wireless interrogation of passive antenna-sensors. The sensor node is equipped with an ultra-wide-band microstrip antenna as the transmitting/receiving (Tx/Rx) antenna and a microstrip patch antenna serving as the temperature-sensing element. A microstrip transmission line connecting the Tx/Rx antenna and the antenna-sensor delays the signal reflected from the sensing element and thus separated it from the background clutter. The operation principle of the wireless sensing scheme is first discussed, followed by the design and simulations of the sensor node circuitry. Furthermore, a digital signal processing algorithm that extracts the antenna resonant frequency from themore »« less

Analysis of superconducting patch antennas using the spectral domain method

Book Itoh, Kiyohiko ; Fukasawa, Toru ; Ishii, Nozomu

In this paper, the authors analyze electrical small HTS (High-Tc Superconductors) patch antennas using the modified spectral domain moment method (SDMM). Although it is assumed that a patch and a ground plane are perfect electric conductors (PECs) in the conventional SDMM, they can compute the performance of not only HTS patch antennas but also patch antennas with a conducting loss, by exchanging the boundary conditions on the conductors for {Epsilon}{sub t} = Z{sub s}J{sub s}, where {Epsilon}{sub t} is the tangential {Epsilon} field, Z{sub s} is surface impedance on the conductors, and J{sub s} is surface impedance on the conductors,more »« less
Distributed Wireless Antenna Sensors for Boiler Condition Monitoring

Technical Report Huang, Haiying ; Jain, Ankur ; Luo, Jian ; ...

Monitoring the operational conditions of coal-fired boilers is an important task that could bring tremendous benefits, including in-situ process control, real-time health assessment of structural components, improved heat transfer efficiency, reduced downtime, etc. Moreover, in-situ distributed sensing of the boiler conditions would provide large scale in-situ measurement data that will help us gain fundamental understandings of the combustion and heat transfer processes as well as enable the developments of new simulation tools, which could eventually lead to better design and more efficient operation of the boilers.
