A disclosed leaky coaxial resonant sensor system and methods. In use, the system includes at least one split-ring resonator (SRR) embedded within a material of the component. The at least one SRR is formed from a composite material. Additionally, the at least one SRR is configured to resonate at a first frequency in response to an interrogation signal from a leaky coaxial cable antenna. In some aspects, each SRR may resonate at a first frequency in response to an electromagnetic ping when the composite material is in a first state, and may resonate at a second frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the composite material is in a second state. A resonant frequency of the composite material may be based on physical characteristics of the composite material.

Leaky coaxial resonant sensor systems and methods

A disclosed water droplet sensing system and methods using split-ring resonators, which may be embedded within a material. In use, a component includes at least one split-ring resonator (SRR) which may be embedded within a material of the component. The at least one SRR may be formed from a composite material. Additionally, the at least one SRR may be configured to form a signal that is correlated with a concentration of water proximate to the at least one SRR. In some aspects, each SRR may resonate at a first frequency in response to an electromagnetic ping when the material is in a first state, and may resonate at a second frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the material is in a second state. A resonant frequency of the material may be based on physical characteristics of the material (including fluid accumulation on the material).

Water droplet sensing systems and methods

A disclosed apparatus includes sensors incorporated into adhesive material. In use, an apparatus may comprise an adhesive material and at least one split-ring resonator (SRR) disposed on or in the adhesive material. Additionally, the at least one SRR is formed from a carbon-containing material, and the adhesive material is a non-elastomeric material or a semi-rigid material. In some aspects, each SRR may resonate at a first frequency in response to an electromagnetic ping when the adhesive material is in a first state, and may resonate at a second frequency in response to the electromagnetic ping when the adhesive material is in a second state. A resonant frequency of the adhesive material may be based on physical characteristics of the adhesive material.
