Abstract :
This paper deals with the application of a quartz resonator to a force sensor installed into an active antenna for use in environmental recognition. When the antenna makes contact with its environment, the force sensor can detect the contact force and the contact position. A rectangular plate, a circular plate and a rectangular parallelepiped were recognized by the active antenna.
