Abstract

A wireless passive temperature sensor based on a metamaterial structure is proposed that is capable of measuring the temperature of moving parts. The sensor structure consists of an alumina ceramic substrate with a square metal double split-ring resonator fixed centrally on the ceramic substrate. Since the dielectric constant of the alumina ceramic substrate is temperature sensitive, the resonant frequency of the sensor is altered due to changes in temperature. A wireless antenna is used to detect the change in the resonant frequency of the sensor using a wireless antenna, thereby realizing temperature sensing operation of the sensor. The temperature sensitivity of the sensor is determined to be 205.22 kHz/°C with a strong linear response when tested over the temperature range of 25-135 °C, which is evident from the R2 being 0.995. Additionally, the frequency variation in this sensor is insensitive to the angle of rotation and can be used for temperature measurement of rotating parts. The sensor also has a distance warning functionality, which offers additional safety for the user by providing early warning signals when the heating equipment overheats after operating for extended durations.
