Multi-frequency Temperature Modulation for Metal-oxide Gas Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents an empirical study of temperature modulation for metal-oxide gas sensors at multiple frequencies ranging from 0.125Hz to 4Hz. Commercial metal-oxide sensors from two manufacturers were exposed to analyte concentrations below their isothermal discrimination threshold over a period of ten days. The results reported in this article indicate that temperature modulation can significantly increase the selectivity of the sensors with respect to isothermal operation, yielding classification rates on test data close to 100%. The effects of heater voltage frequency and drift on the two sensors, as well as drift compensation procedures, are also discussed.

In this article we introduce a novel operating principle for a temperature modulated electronic nose. The aim is to perform gas discrimination with metal oxide gas sensors in natural, uncontrolled environments where the sensor is exposed to patches of gas only for short periods of time. The proposed Parallelized Temperature Modulated e-nose (PTM e-nose) allows to speed-up discrimination of gase...

In this work the low temperature response of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors is analyzed. Important characteristics of this low-temperature response are a pronounced selectivity to acid- and base-forming gases and a large disparity of response and recovery time constants which often leads to an integrator-type of gas response. We show that this kind of sensor performance is related to the...
