Popis: This paper describes the experimental development of membrane supported single SAW resonator sensor structures, operating in the 4–12 GHz frequency range. The sensors are manufactured on GaN/Si, using advanced nano-lithographic and micromachining techniques. Rayleigh and Lamb resonance frequency peak shifts vs. pressure and temperature were successfully used for simultaneous determinations of these parameters. Determinations have been performed in the 1–7 Bar pressure range and 20–150°C temperature range. Very high values for the pressure and temperature sensitivities have been obtained, due to the high frequency operation, possible for GaN based SAW type sensors.
