Surface Acoustic Wave Sensors

This project is concerned will developing Surface Acoustic Wave devices for use in mass sensing and inertial sensing. Love waves, Rayleigh and Sezawa waves of cylindrical form offer significant advantages over their MEMS counterpart. As they are localised to a surface the offer isolation to both shock and vibration whilst allowing for common mode rejection of other environmental effects.
