It has previously been shown that resistance fluctuations in resistive sensors provide enhanced sensitivity and selectivity for gas detection. We report measurements and analysis of non-Gaussian components in nanoparticle Pd z ( WO 3)1- z film gas sensors, with z being 0.01 or 0.12, in different ambients. These components can be characterized by higher-order spectra. Contour plots are given of bispectra, and plots of integrated bispectra and trispectra. The phase of the integrated higher-order spectra is analyzed as well.

Gas sensors based on multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) for detecting gaseous molecules of ammoniac (NH3) were developed and investigated. MWCNT film was grown directly by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method on Pt electrodes to fabricate sensor device. The CNT based – gas sensor is shown sensitively and selectively to NH3 gas at room temperature.

There are many statistical tools to extract information from random signals. They predominantly use first and second order statistics. However, in the presence of nonlinearity in systems, many signals cannot be analyzed adequately by second order statistical methods. For this reason, higher order statistical methods have been developed. These methods are very useful in problems where non-Gaussian, non-minimum phase, phase coupling or nonlinear behavior and robustness to additive noise are important. Detection and classification using higher order statistical and spectral techniques have been proposed for use in communication and pattern recognition. They have the potential to elicit better performance from sensors, sensor networks and channels with applications in coding, filtering and detection techniques. This paper provides an introduction to higher order spectra and reviews a number of these techniques.
