  • Abstract
    We report the development of an out of plane hot wire flow sensor array fabricated using robust three dimensional assembly. The sensor is monolithically integrated with a commercial JFET operational amplifier and operates in constant temperature mode. Output response to airflow has been measured and we have applied the hot wire anemometer array for flow imaging.
