Electrically detected impedance detector for the measurement of physical quantities, in particular of temperature or humidity, and process for the manufacture of said detectors

Abstract

Electrical impedance detector for measurement of physical quantifies, in particular of temperature or humidity. The detector comprises conductor electrodes (10a, 10b; 10A,10W), between which the electrical impedance (C.sub.M) that represents the physical quantity to be measured is measured. Between the conductor electrodes (10a, 10b;10A, 10W) there is an active material (11;11P) whose impedance properties are a function of the physical quantity to be measured. The detector is composed of pieces cut-off out of a continuous detector filament (20; 20H;20K), which detector filament (20;20H;20K) comprises a conductive electrode wire or an assembly of electrode wires (10a, 10b; 10A, 10W), on/between which there is an active material (11;11P) whose impedance properties are a function of the physical quantity to be measured. Further, a novel process is described for the manufacture of said detectors.
