Abstract: A transducer structure for a surface acoustic device comprises a composite substrate comprising a piezoelectric layer, a pair of inter-digitated comb electrodes, comprising a plurality of electrode means with a pitch p satisfying the Bragg condition, wherein the inter-digitated comb electrodes are embedded in the piezoelectric layer such that, in use, the excitation of a wave propagating mode in the volume of the electrode means is taking place and is the predominant propagating mode of the structure. The present disclosure relates also to an acoustic wave device comprising at least one transducer structure as described above and to a method for fabricating the transducer structure. The present disclosure relates also to the use of the frequency of the bulk wave propagating in the electrode means of the transducer structure in an acoustic wave device to generate contribution at high frequency, in particular, above 3 GHz.

Abstract: A method of interrogating an acoustic wave sensor comprises transmitting, by an interrogator, an interrogation radiofrequency signal to the acoustic wave sensor by way of a transmission antenna, receiving, by the interrogator, a response radiofrequency signal from the acoustic wave sensor by way of a reception antenna, and processing by a processing means of the interrogator the received response radiofrequency signal to obtain in-phase and quadrature components both in the time domain and the frequency domain, determining by the processing means perturbations of the obtained in-phase and quadrature components both in the time domain and the frequency domain and determining by the processing means a value of a measurand based on the detected perturbations.
