Wavelet transform with a SAW convolver for sensor application

Abstract
To get the sensor information from an individually adressed SAW sensor, the use of coded ID-tag type SAW sensors is combined with the tool of Wavelet transform, a kind of correlative signal processing. The function of SAW sensors (ID-tag type) is obser- ved as a scaling of time and shape respectively. The time scaling factor is equal to the mechanical exten- sion of the substrate of a sensor for temperature, etc. This scaling factor is evaluated by calculating the Wavelet transform. The fundamental concept, ma- thematical simulations, numerical estimations and finally an overview of the implemented SAW sensor system using the Wavelet transform processed within a SAW convolver are shown. Preliminary results are presented.
