Temperature transducer with frequency output made in LTCC technology

Temperature transducer with frequency output made in LTCC technology PurposeThe purpose of this study is to design a simple and cheap temperature transducer with frequency output with high measurement resolution in low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology by using the distributed Resistance-Capacitance (RC) networks in high-pass filter configuration.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents the concept of elaboration of a transducer of temperature into frequency, its implementation in LTCC technology and test results.
