Influence of Corona Discharge on SAW Temperature Measurement System

In order to study the electromagnetic interference on SAW (surface acoustic wave) wireless temperature measurement system of the corona discharge, the paper analyzes the characteristics of the frequency spectrum of corona discharge, models the corona discharge and studies its radiation characteristics by simulation on Matlab. Based on this, the experimental platforms of corona discharge is set up. The result of the experiment confirms that corona discharge causes electromagnetic interference to the system and the influence decreases as the distance between the sensor and discharge sources increase. Then the sensor should be kept a certain distance from the discharge sources.
