Abstract
A system and a method for multi-gas sensing using dielectric excitation of a single sensing material at multiple operating temperatures. By measuring dielectric excitation responses of the gas sensing material, enhanced multi-gas differentiation and differentiation can be achieved using fewer operating temperatures than would be used by the same MOS gas sensing material configured to perform multi-gas differentiation based on resistance responses alone. The disclosed gas sensors and gas sensing techniques enable improved response linearity, improved dynamic range, and reduced computational resource consumption for multi-gas quantitation relative to traditional resistance-based gas sensing methods. Present embodiments unexpectedly demonstrate MOS-based gas sensors that can differentiate between different gases using responses collected using at least two different operating temperatures, wherein this differentiation is superior in the differentiation between different gases and in baseline stability, as compared to the resistance response of the same gas sensing material at more than two operating temperatures.
