Description

This project is concerned with the development of strain measurement
system which utilise Surface Acoustic Wave Resonators (SAWR). SAWR
sensors hold the potential of working wirelessly and passively drawing
all the energy required for strain measurement and response through a
signal burst RF interrogation single. The aim of this project is to
develop a SAW R strain sensor fit for operating in general purpose
applications.
