Patent attributes
A multi-gas sensing system includes a sensing circuit comprising one or more sensing elements. Each sensing element includes a sensing material configured to detect at least one gas analyte. A management circuit is configured to excite the sensing elements with an alternating current at at least one predetermined frequency. The management circuit measures one or more electrical responses of the sensing elements responsive to exciting the sensing elements with the alternating current. The management circuit determines one or more characteristics of the sensing circuit. One or more processors receive the electrical responses of the sensing elements and the characteristics of the sensing circuit. The one or more processors determine a concentration of the at least one gas analyte based on the electrical responses of the sensing elements and the characteristics of the sensing circuit.
