Abstract :
A surface acoustic wave array of sensors was developed for the detection of chemical warfare agent simulants. Sensors were coated with different polymers for a higher accuracy. Data acquired were processed; principal components analysis (PCA) and probabilistic neural network (PNN) were used for the discrimination and classification of the chemical agents.
