Embedded Supervisory Control and Output Reporting for the Oscillating Ultrasonic Temperature Sensors

Ultrasonic temperature sensors can potentially outperform conventional sensors because they are capable of very fast sensing across the complete ultrasound pathway, whilst conventional sensors only sense temperature at a single point and have substantial thermal inertia. We report recent developments in electronic instrumentation for oscillating ultrasonic temperature sensors with the aim of achieving high accuracy and low scatter at a low cost.
