Abstract

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) device is widely used as a bandpass filter, a chemical or physical sensor, and an actuator. In this paper, we propose the capacitive gap measurement system with high precision through the signal processing using SAW device. The research process is mainly composed of theoretical part and experimental part. In theoretical part, equivalent circuit model was used to simulate the SAW response by the change of capacitance. In experimental part, commercialized capacitor was used to see the SAW response by the change of load capacitance. After that, gap adjustment system was made physically and the SAW response by the change of gap which caused the capacitance change was measured. And resolution and stroke was decided comparing the signal change and basic measurement noise level.
