Abstract
A novel, wireless, passive substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) temperature sensor based on a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) is presented for ultra-high-temperature applications. The temperature sensor model was established by using the software of HFSS (ANSYS, Canonsburg, PA, USA) to optimize the performance. This sensor can monitor temperature wirelessly using the microwave backscatter principle, which uses a robust high-temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) as the substrate for harsh environments. The results are experimentally verified by measuring the S (1,1) parameter of the interrogator antenna without contact. The resonant frequency of the sensor decreases with the increasing temperature using the dielectric perturbation method, which changes from 2.5808 to 2.35941 GHz as the temperature increases from 25 to 1200 °C. The sensitivity of the sensor is 126.74 kHz/°C in the range of 25–400 °C and 217.33 kHz/°C in the range of 400–1200 °C. The sensor described in this study has the advantages of simple structure, higher quality and sensitivity, and lower environmental interference, and has the potential for utilization in multi-site temperature testing or multi-parameter testing (temperature, pressure, gas) in high-temperature environments.
