Abstract

Thin film conducting polymer gas composition sensors can be used forindustrial safety monitoring, environmental pollution control, and numerousother applications. In this paper, a sensor system model is developed andthis model is used to compare a lumped circuit to a transmission lineformulation of the equivalent circuits describing the polymer film andelectrodes; the sensor model includes the adsorption/desorption processand the electric properties of the sensor. The simulation approachcombines physically based modeling and parameter estimation, in which asubset of model parameters are estimated using published experimentaldata. The simulation results are found to be useful for interpretingconduction polymer sensor responses to different gas species.
