Abstract

Traditional approaches to gas sensing are usually related with gas identification and classification, i.e., recognition of aromas. In this work we propose an innovative approach to determine the concentration of the single species in a gas mixture by using nonlinear source separation techniques. Additionally, responses of tin oxide sensor arrays were analyzed using nonlinear regression techniques to determine the concentrations of ammonia and acetone in gas mixtures. The use of the source separation approach allows the compensation of some of the most important sensor disadvantages: the parameter spreading and time drift.
