Abstract

See full text

A method and system for detecting material bound on a surface of a piezoelectric resonator introduces a signal of a constant frequency through the sensing resonator and detects a change in the insertion phase shift of the resonator as a result of the binding of the material being detected on the surface of the resonator. Environmental effects on the measurement are effectively canceled by the use of a reference resonator driven by the same input signal. A multiple-port sensing device is provided which includes thin-film sensing and reference resonators monolithically formed on a substrate.
