surface acoustic wave, gas sensor, nitric oxide, single-phase unidirectional transducer Surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices equipped with an electrode-width-controlled (EWC)/ single-phase unidirectional transducer (SPUDT) and fabricated on ST-X quartz were proposed and found to have low insertion loss and single-mode capability.The devices were then used to determine parts-per-billion levels of nitric oxide (NO).A new modified equivalent circuit (EC) model was used to model and analyze the characteristics of SAW devices prior to their fabrication.The small-signal frequency responses (S 21 ) obtained by simulation and measurement were consistent.A feedback-loop oscillator was used to design SAW-resonatorstabilized oscillators that provided stable oscillation.A SAW oscillator with an EWC/SPUDT structure was used to provide fundamental signals with high output power, induce high harmonic suppression, and realize long-term frequency stability.SAW devices with an EWC/ SPUDT structure were coated with a Cu 2+ /PANI/WO 3 -sensitive layer to successfully determine parts-per-billion levels of NO.For a NO concentration of 50 ppb in dry air, the frequency shift in the SAW sensor with the EWC/SPUDT structure is 502 Hz.Moreover, the response and recovery time are 40 and 112 s, respectively.The sensitivity of NO detection for a concentration range of 20-80 ppb is approximately 4.2 Hz/ppb (~3.43 kHz/mg/m 3 ).
