Abstract
This paper presents the introduction, design, and experimental validation of two small helical antennae. These antennae are a component of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor interrogation system, which has been miniaturized to operate at 915 MHz and aims to improve the performance of wireless passive SAW temperature-sensing applications. The proposed antenna designs are the normal-mode cylindrical helical antenna (CHA) and the hemispherical helical antenna (HSHA); both designed structures are developed for the ISM band, which ranges from 902 MHz to 928 MHz. The antennae exhibit resonance at 915 MHz with an operational bandwidth of 30 MHz for the CHA and 22 MHz for the HSHA. A notch occurs in the operating band, caused by the characteristics of the SAW sensor. The presence of this notch is crucial for the temperature measurement by aiding in calculating the frequency shifting of that notch. The decrement in the resonance frequency of the SAW sensor is about 66.67 kHz for every 10 °C, which is obtained by conducting the temperature measurement of the system model across temperature environments ranging from 30 °C to 90 °C to validate the variation in system performance.
