Abstract

Operational configuration and temperature compensation methods are provided for bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator devices suitable for operating with liquids. Temperature compensation methods dispense with a need for temperature sensing, instead utilizing a relationship between (i) change in frequency of a BAW resonator at a phase with adequate sensitivity and (ii) change in frequency of a phase that is correlated to temperature. Operational configuration methods include determination of an initial phase response of a BAW resonator in which temperature coefficient of frequency is zero, followed by comparison of sensitivity to a level of detection threshold for a phenomenon of interest.
