Abstract

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MEASURING FLUID PROPERTIES USING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL RESONATOR A method for determining properties of a fluid is provided. An electromechanical resonator is exposed to an uncharacterized fluid, the electromechanical resonator being part of an oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit includes an amplifier and a feedback loop. The electromechanical resonator is disposed within the feedback loop such that a resonant frequency of the resonator defines an oscillation frequency of the oscillator circuit. The oscillator circuit is activated such that the resonator reaches a resonant frequency in the fluid. An energy loss parameter of the resonator in the fluid when the oscillator circuit is continuously activated is then determined. The energy loss parameter is determined based on a gain or negative resistance required to keep a constant oscillation amplitude of the oscillator circuit through an automatic gain or negative resistance control system. At least one property of the fluid is then calculated by reference to the energy loss parameter. (Figure 1)
