Patch wireless test fixture

A SAW sensor testing system, comprising:

• a pressure rail having a top surface and a bottom surface and at least one pressure inlet to a pressure channel located within said pressure rail;
• a plurality of SAW patch depressions formed into a plurality of sealing surfaces on said top surface of said pressure rail upon which at least one SAW patch among a plurality of SAW patches is located;
• a plurality of antenna blocks disposed upon said pressure rail, wherein each antenna block thereof includes at least two antennas and is respectively located on said pressure rail;
• and
• a plurality of BNC connectors respectively connected to said plurality of antenna blocks, wherein each BNC connector thereof is respectively connected to and protrudes from each antenna block thereof in order to provide wireless data indicative of pressure and temperature conditions associated with each SAW patch among said plurality of SAW patches.

A sensor testing method, comprising the steps of:

• providing a pressure rail having a top surface and a bottom surface and at least one pressure inlet to a pressure channel located within said pressure rail;
• forming a plurality of patch depressions into a plurality of sealing surfaces on said top surface of said pressure rail upon which at least one patch among a plurality of patches is located;
• disposing a plurality of antenna blocks upon said pressure rail, wherein each antenna block thereof includes at least two antennas and is respectively located on said pressure rail;
• and
• thereafter generating from said plurality of antenna blocks, wireless data indicative of pressure and temperature conditions associated with each patch among said plurality of patches.
