Title:Yet another precision impedance analyzer (YAPIA)Readout electronics for resonating sensorsAuthor(s):Alexander Niedermayer, Erwin Reichel, Bernhard JakobyAbstract:In recent years, compact and precise impedance measurement electronics have proved to be reasonable alternatives for dedicated measurement tasks like impedance measurement of resonant sensors. In this contribution, a novel design of a compact impedance analyzer is discussed, and the target application, a quartz crystal resonator (QCR) viscosity sensor for conductive liquids, as intended for the monitoring of a zeolite synthesis process aboard the International Space Station (ISS), is presented.Journal:Sensors and Actuators A: PhysicalPublisher:ElsevierISSN:0924-4247Page Reference:page 245-250, 6 page(s)Publishing:11/2009Volume:156Number:1
