SAW (surface acoustic wave) sensors have been used in chemical sensing and various other fields of sensing. In this research a SAW sensor has been studied as a bending curvature sensor. For this purpose, a highly piezoelectric flexible substrate of PVDF has been used and promising results were obtained. The bending curvature can be expressed as a function of the phase shift and amplitude of the received signal with respect to the input signal. A dynamic surface profile mapping system is proposed based on a network of this type of sensors. This has a high potential in human body movement sensing in the future.
