Description

The SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator system that is used for gas sensor
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of oscillator, particularly relate to a kind of surface acoustic wave (" SAW ") oscilator system that is used for gas sensor.
Background technology
As everyone knows, for the gas sensor core component be the oscillator of high frequency high stability.Usually so in actual applications high stability oscillator roughly has two kinds, a kind of is crystal oscillator, but studies show that, square being bordering on of the sensitivity of transducer and frequency of oscillation is directly proportional, and the frequency of oscillation of crystal oscillator generally is not more than 30MHz, therefore, crystal oscillator can not be applicable to the more gas sensor of high sensitivity requirement.Another is a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator, this oscillator has higher frequency stability, on the operating frequency this SAW device than crystal oscillator height two orders of magnitude, therefore adopt the gas sensor of this SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator also just to have the ability of the bigger sensitivity of acquisition.This SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator generally has two types, and a kind of is to adopt both-end resonator type sound surface wave oscillator, and its frequency stability is very high, and the gas sensor of this resonator type has very high sensitivity, and resolution can reach 10 usually -12To 10 -15But provide the carrier area of the needed sensitive membrane of gas sensor very little generally speaking, this in addition resonator type oscillator is made quite complicated, and be subjected to the influence of circuit phase state easily and cause the unsteadiness of transducer, therefore this oscillator generally is not suitable for gas sensor.Another is the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator that adopts the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) delay line type, it can provide the needed carrier of gas sensor sensitive membrane of enough areas, also has simultaneously very high frequency stability, be not easy to be subjected to the influence of peripheral circuit phase place, therefore this oscillator is more suitable for the use in gas sensor.
The delay line type SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator system that is applied to gas sensor of prior art generally adopts conventional two delay line type oscillator structures, usually the delay-line structure that is adopted does not have the control of single-frequency oscillatory work pattern, and the loss of delay line is quite big.In the middle of prior art, general delay line adopts the transducer of two equal length, and its length all within 50 to 100 wave-length coverages, is inserted loss between 20 to 60 dB, and the amplifier that therefore must adopt high-gain compensates the loss of delay line.Wohltijen in 1979 propose surface acoustic wave sensor (the H.Wohltjen andR.E.Dessy of this employing delay-line structure at first, " Surface acoustic wave probe for chemical analysis; PartsI-III ", Analytical Chem., vol.5, no.9, pp.1458-1475,1979), in the middle of his design of 34MHz SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) delay line, the substrate that is adopted is the ST quartz, delay line adopts two identical transducers, and its periodicity is 8, and sound aperture is 26.5 times of wavelength, distance is 460 times of wavelength between two transducers, and the loss of delay line surpasses 60dB.Wohltijen in 1986 to 1987 etc. have proposed three kinds of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator (David S.Ballantine that are applied to gas sensor again, Susan L.Rose, Jay W.Grateand H.Wohltjen, " Correlation of Surface Acoustic Wave Device CoatingResponses with Solubility Properties and Chemical Structure Using PatternRecognition ", Anal.Chem., vol.58, no.14, December, pp.3058-3066,1986H.Wohltjen, W.Snow, R.Barger and David S.Ballantine, " Trace ChemicalVapor Detecion Using SAW Delay Line Oscillators ", 1987 IEEEUFFC, vol.UFFC-34, no.2, MARCH, pp.172-178).Adopt 31MHz respectively, 52MHz and 112MHzSAW delay line.Three kinds of delay lines all adopt same transducer to refer to logarithm (be 50 refer to), sound aperture is 80 times of wavelength, finger beam and refer to that a spacing is 1/4 wavelength, and the transducer spacing is respectively 264 times, 166 times and 350 times of wavelength, substrate is the ST quartz, and these three kinds of delay line losses are all greater than 20dB.People such as Jay W.Grate in 1988 and Arthur Snow propose the delay line type oscillator that is applied to gas sensor (the Jay W.Grate of a kind of 158MHz, Arthur Snow, David S.Ballantine, H.Wohltjen, " Determination of Partition Coefficients from Surface Acoustic WaveVapor Sensor Responses and Correlation with Gas-Liquid CheomatographicPartition Coefficients ", Anal.Chem., vol.60, no9, May1, pp.869-875,1988), input transducer length is that 75 fingers are right, output transducer is that 100 fingers are right, the transducer spacing is 10 wavelength, and sound aperture is 70 wavelength, and adopting substrate is the ST quartz.There are some to adopt the delay-line structure of lithium niobate substrate in addition.A kind of gas sensor (Liu Guofeng as designs such as Liu Guofeng, Chen Ming; " novel sonic surface wave gas sensors "; aviation instrumentation technology, the 15th volume, the third phase; pp.5-8; 1995) to adopt the delay line centre frequency of lithium niobate substrate be 60MHz, and each IDT 30 refers to rightly, and distance is 60 times of wavelength between 2 IDT.External also have some to adopt vibration type sonic surface wave gas sensors (Yuan Xiaoping, " external surface acoustic wave sensor exploitation recent developments ", piezoelectricity and acousto-optic, 17th volume, 4th phase, pp.6-10,1995 Rohs, the Y.R. of YZ lithium niobate as substrate; Kim, H.B.; Lee, Y.J.; Cho, H.M.; Chung, J.S.; Baik, S., " Development of SAW gas sensor for monitoringSO XGas ", Ultrasonics Symposium, 1995.Proceedings., 1995 IEEE, Volume:1,7-10 Nov.1995 Pages:473-476 vol.1).All there are following some shortcomings in the SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator that more than is applied to gas sensor:
1. SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) delay line itself can not solve the pattern control problem of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator, can only rely on external circuit to solve, will inevitably make the circuit complexity like this, strengthen the power consumption of system, influence the structural compactness and the temperature stability of sensing system.
2. what existing sonic surface wave gas sensors adopted is the delay line of substrate with the quartz, normally adopts conventional singly referring to or two finger structure, causes loss too high (usually greater than 20dB); Therefore oscillating circuit adopts the radio frequency amplifier of high-gain to come element loss in compensating device and the circuit with regard to requiring.Adopt the amplifier of high-gain will improve the power consumption of whole system, and will directly have influence on the short-term frequency stability of oscillator, thereby will have influence on the stability and the sensitivity of gas sensor.
3. in addition for the delay-line structure that adopts lithium niobate substrate,, be that the delay line of substrate can obtain lower insertion loss therefore with this material because this substrate has superior electromechanical coupling factor.But this substrate temperature stability is very poor, with producing serious temperature drift, influences the frequency stability of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscillator, and then has influence on the sensitivity of gas sensor.And in the sonic surface wave gas sensors that adopts this substrate is used, must have constant temperature and humidity conditioner usually, and so clearly increased the burden of electronic circuit, do not meet the miniaturization of gas sensor, portable requirement.
