Abstract: A sensor for parallel measurement of pressure and acceleration of a vehicle, including a substrate, a sensor element disposed on the substrate, a material being connected with the sensor element and being exposed to the environment of the sensor, wherein the material is configured to act as a seismic mass, and an electronic circuitry connected with the sensor element and including a first filter and a second filter, wherein the first and second filters have different filter characteristics so that an output of the first filter is representative for the pressure and an output of the second is representative for the acceleration.

Abstract: A sensor packaging system and methodology includes a plastic substrate configured to include a gap for receiving and maintaining an acoustic wave sensor. An antenna can be printed directly on the plastic substrate and connected electrically to the acoustic wave sensor for the transmission and receipt of data from and to the acoustic wave sensor. The antenna can be flip chip mounted to the acoustic wave sensor, which can be implemented, for example, in the context of a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) sensor chip. Such a SAW sensor chip can includes a plurality of metal electrodes located on the same surface of the plastic substrate as the SAW sensor chip.

Abstract: A quartz sensor method and system are disclosed in which a plurality of SAW sensing resonators can be mechanically simulated for implementation upon a quartz wafer substrate. The quartz wafer substrate can thereafter be appropriately etched to produce a quartz diaphragm from the quartz wafer substrate. A plurality of SAW sensing resonators (e.g., pressure, reference and/or temperature SAW resonators) can then be located upon the quartz wafer substrate, which is based upon the previously mechanically simulated for implementation upon the substrate to thereby produce a quartz sensor package from the quartz wafer substrate.
