Sensor for high-air-humidity measurement
Vojko Matko, Denis Đonlagić · IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement · 1996
The humidity sensor using the sensitive capacitive-dependent crystal is described. Presented is the probe sensitivity (dependence of df on the dC/sub x/). In addition, the new idea of excitation of the entire humidity sensor with stochastic test signals is described, and the humidity surface-measuring method is given. It includes the influence of test signals of the weighting function uncertainty and of the A/D-D/A conversion. The results of humidity measurement with the excitation signals are shown experimentally. The uncertainty of the surface humidity measurement is less than 0.2% (T=15-25/spl deg/C and humidity=50-98%).
