Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), University of Dayton, Electrical Engineering.
This research presents several different platforms for detecting chemical or biological agents without the use of probes or wires and without the use of a battery. These platforms all use an interrogator to transmit power through either radio or low frequency electromagnetic waves to a sensor device. The sensor device has a functionalized surface which aids in selectivity to the analyte of interest. The sensor device sends back a portion of the power through radio frequency waves with altered frequency, amplitude and phase. The characteristics of the received signal contain the information about the analyte of interest. The platforms were tested with several volatile organic compounds, gasoline, sulfuric acid, hydraulic fluid, and chlorine. The results were statistically significant.
