OBSOLETE-Automotive RF soot sensor reference design
Description
This reference design demonstrates the capability of radio frequency (RF) sensors to detect various gases in automotive exhaust systems: such as NOx: CO2: O2: HC: soot: NH3 and others: to aid in the reduction of gas emissions. Previously implemented chemical-based sensor solutions had very slow response times: leading to inefficiencies in engine performance and increased emissions. RF sensing technology increases the accuracy and robustness of the system: improving the response time by several hundred times that of the conventional chemical sensing solution.
Features
- Non-invasive method of using 2 UWD directional antennas as sense elements for a robust systemFast response: high accuracy. Temperature compensation and real-time calibration algorithmReal-time closed-loop control analysis of engine facilitates fast response times: implies less emissionsNo need of regeneration: reduced additional maintenanceFrequency sweeping step time is in the order of μs
Applications
- Powertrain exhaust sensor
