Review on Temperature Modulation Technology of Gas Sensors

Abstract:

Temperature modulation has been proved to be an efficient technique for improving the selectivity and stability of gas sensors. Recent years, there are many reports about it. This paper detailed analysis of the technology and reviewed the methods of temperature modulation, the techniques of dynamic signal processing, the optimization of modulation modes, and dynamic modeling of the responses. Then discusses the research trends of the technology.
