Sensors and sensor systems are used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, providing real-time information that allows decisions to be made when and where required. Sensors allow industrial processes and applications to be more cost effective, reliable, and safe. In many applications, sensors and data collection processing must be distributed and placed in inhospitable or inaccessible environments. This complicates sensor and system design by requiring devices with small size, rugged construction, an efficient power supply for active components, communications for derived information, and simple installation with a minimum amount of infrastructure and overhead. Integrated Smart Wireless surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors and systems composed of distributed wireless SAW sensors, sensor communication transceivers, and a centralized host. New generations of SAW microsensors promises to provide measurements of a wide range of physical and chemical parameters, including: temperature, pressure, chemical concentration, gas concentrations, etc. Compatible with integrated circuit-processing techniques, SAW devices can and will be combined with active circuitry into integrated smart SAW sensors.For Western Michigan University, this project will provide a basis for the development of laboratory facilities for SAW design and fabrication and the expansion of our wireless communications capabilities. It will provide student research opportunities and demonstrate technology and results that are widely applicable to a broad range of electrical and computer engineering classes. This project will provide a range of distributed wireless sensors while significantly advancing WMU's goal of being a "student centered research institution".

传感器和传感器系统广泛用于工业和消费应用，提供实时信息，以便在需要时随时随地做出决策。传感器使工业流程和应用更具成本效益、可靠且安全。在许多应用中，传感器和数据收集处理必须分布并放置在不适宜或难以访问的环境中。这使得传感器和系统设计变得复杂，因为要求设备具有小尺寸、坚固的结构、有源组件的高效电源、派生信息的通信以及以最少的基础设施和开销进行简单的安装。集成智能无线表面声波 (SAW) 传感器和系统由分布式无线 SAW 传感器、传感器通信收发器和集中式主机组成。新一代SAW微传感器有望提供广泛的物理和化学参数的测量，包括：温度、压力、化学浓度、气体浓度等。与集成电路处理技术兼容，SAW设备可以并将与有源电路组合成集成智能SAW传感器。对于西密歇根大学来说，该项目将为开发用于SAW设计和制造的实验室设施以及扩展我们的无线通信提供基础 能力。它将为学生提供研究机会，并展示广泛适用于各种电气和计算机工程课程的技术和成果。该项目将提供一系列分布式无线传感器，同时显着推进 WMU 成为“以学生为中心的研究机构”的目标。
