The pressure signal can be read out wirelessly through the magnetic coupling between the reader antenna and the sensor due to that the sensor is equivalent to an inductive-capacitive (LC) resonance circuit which has a pressure-sensitive resonance frequency. Considering the excellent mechanical properties in high-temperature environment, multilayered zirconia ceramic tapes were used to fabricate the pressure-sensitive structure. Owing to its low resistivity, sliver paste was chosen to form the electrical circuit via post-fire metallization, thereby enhancing the quality factor compared to sensors fabricated by cofiring with a high-melting-point metal such as platinum, tungsten or manganese. The design, fabrication, and experiments are demonstrated and discussed in detail. Experimental results showed that the sensor can operate at 600 \u00b0C with quite good coupling. Furthermore, the average sensitivity is as high as 790 kHz\/bar within the measurement range between 0 and 1 Bar.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi5040814","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,29]],"date-time":"2014-09-29T11:16:45Z","timestamp":1411989405000},"page":"814-824","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Passive Pressure Sensor Fabricated by Post-Fire Metallization on Zirconia Ceramic for High-Temperature Applications"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Tao","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science and Dynamic Measurement (North University of China), Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiulin","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science and Dynamic Measurement (North University of China), Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"},{"name":"Science and Technology on Electronic Test and Measurement Laboratory, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"},{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Fundamental Science of Micro\/Nano-Device and System Technology, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400044, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liqiong","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science and Dynamic Measurement (North University of China), Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tanyong","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science and Technology on Electronic Test and Measurement Laboratory, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Science and Technology on Electronic Test and Measurement Laboratory, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chenyang","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science and Dynamic Measurement (North University of China), Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"},{"name":"Science and Technology on Electronic Test and Measurement Laboratory, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jijun","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Instrumentation Science and Dynamic Measurement (North University of China), Ministry of Education, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"},{"name":"Science and Technology on Electronic Test and Measurement Laboratory, North University of China, Taiyuan 030051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Hunter, G.W., Neudeck, P.G., Liu, C.C., Ward, B., Wu, Q.H., Dutta, P., Frank, M., Trimbol, J., Fulkerson, M., and Patton, B.
