Abstract This paper analyses the effectiveness of determining gas concentrations by using a prototype WO3 resistive gas sensor together with fluctuation enhanced sensing. We have earlier demonstrated that this method can determine the composition of a gas mixture by using only a single sensor. In the present study, we apply Least-Squares Support-Vector-Machine-based (LS-SVM-based) nonlinear regression to determine the gas concentration of each constituent in a mixture. We confirmed that the accuracy of the estimated gas concentration could be significantly improved by applying temperature change and ultraviolet irradiation of the WO3 layer. Fluctuation-enhanced sensing allowed us to predict the concentration of both component gases.

AbstractIn this contribution, a composite measurement concept for the gas flow determination in diverse stream scenarios is presented. The approach utilizes the pressure- and mixing-dependent relative permittivity of gaseous media, which, in case of a vortex or a marker gas, creates a detectable variation in the measuring beam of the radar. Since the measurement effect is very small, phase measurements based on highly precise and low jitter frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar systems in different frequency bands are applied. Moreover, disturbances caused by vibrations of the measurement setup are compensated out of the measurement signal.

AbstractThis paper presents a novel approach for the determination of True-Speed-Over-Ground for trains. Speed determination is accomplished by correlating the received signals of two side-looking radar sensors. The theoretically achievable precision is derived. Test measurements are done in two different scenarios to give a proof of concept. Thereafter a series of field measurements is performed to rate the practical suitability of the approach. The results of the measurements are thoroughly evaluated. The test and field measurements are carried out using a 24 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave radar.
