  • Abstract
    The feasibility of the remote measurement of gas detection from an RF gas sensor has been experimentally investigated. It consists of a Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) RADAR interrogation of an antenna loaded by the passive sensor. The frequency band of the RADAR [28.8-31GHz] allows the detection of the resonant frequencies of Whispering Gallery Modes that are sensitive to gas concentration. Reported experimental results provide the proof-of-concept of remote measurement of gas concentration fluctuation from RADAR interrogation of this new generation of passive gas sensors.
