Abstract
A gas sensor device including a housing, a porous member through which the analyte gas is transportable in operative connection with the a of the housing to separate an inner chamber of the housing from the ambient environment, a gas sensor responsive to the analyte gas within the inner chamber, a source of pressure waves positioned within the inner chamber and spaced from the porous member so that any pressure waves emitted from the source of pressure waves that are transmitted out of the inner chamber are transmitted through the porous member, a sensor responsive to pressure waves, and circuitry in operative connection with the sensor responsive to pressure waves to relate a phase of a measured response of the sensor responsive to pressure waves to a state of blockage in the porous member.
