Welcome
SAW Symposium 2010, November 11th – 12th, Villach, Austria
Wireless passive sensors for harsh environments
Wireless sensors have a wide range of applications such as environmental monitoring, tracking and tracing, engine metrology, safety and many more. In addition to these applications, passive sensors have a high future potential, because not only do they replace existing sensors, they actually make new sensing applications possible.
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors, an offspring of precision filters used in mobile communication devices, have recently been developed for wireless sensing applications in the industry.
The wireless SAW sensor symposium will bring together the science and the industry. The program covers introductory talks on the technology, potential industrial applications and installed pilot applications. The goal of the event is to create a platform for cross-pollination of ideas between science and industry on wireless SAW sensor technology while acting as inspiration for innovative and as yet unknown applications.
