Abstract :
In recent years, sensors and sensor systems have gained increasing importance for automotive electronics. In this paper, the suitability and the perspectives in the application of microacoustic surface- and bulk-acoustic-wave sensors in the fields of angular rate sensors, pressure sensors, wireless sensor readout, and liquid sensors are discussed.
