A langasite surface acoustic wave wide-range temperature sensor with excellent linearity and high sensitivity

Langasite (LGS) surface acoustic wave (SAW) temperature sensors have a large second order temperature coefficient of frequency, which leads to their non-linear and non-monotonic responses in a wide temperature range and possibly makes the measured temperatures non-unique for a specific sensor respon...
