A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) temperature sensor based on a cascade three-stage “bent-beam” structure is described in this paper. A suspended structure mechanically deforms in response to the change in ambient temperature, and then, a displacement is obtained; the structure is composed of three cascaded systems in order to enhance sensor sensitivity. The final conversion is made to an electrical...
A temperature sensor that could be interrogated contactless represents an attractive solution for measurements into harsh environments such as in presence of high temperatures that do not permit the correct working of electronics. This paper discusses a telemetric system consisting of two coupled planar inductors, which constitute a coupled transformer with the primary one connected to the measurement...
The development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has recently become an area of great interest to researchers and industry. WSNs offer the promise of monitoring, data collection, and control of systems with unprecedented scale and spatial granularity. On this regard, the study of a reliable and low cost energy supply for WSNs remains an open challenge. Of course, the correct sizing of a supply system...
A novel MEMS temperature sensor based on a cascade three-stage bent beam structure is described in this work. Three cascaded systems compose the structure in order to enhance sensor sensitivity. The structure is mechanically deforms as a response to the change in the ambient temperature and then a displacement is obtained that is furthermore amplified by the cascaded architecture. The final conversion...
