Abstract
This thesis discusses the design, assembly, and testing of electronic circuits/systems that can be used to interface a Surface-Acoustic-Wave (SAW) sensor to a display so as to build a complete, stand-alone measuring instrument. Two interfacing techniques, one using a microprocessor and the other using a look-up table approach are discussed. A semi-custom IC chip that replaces twenty standard, off-the-shelf IC chips has been designed, fabricated, and evaluated. The design of an r.f. amplifier having gain greater than 15 dB over a bandwidth of 100 kHz to so MHz is presented.
