A passive sensor system (14) utilizing ultrasonic energy is disclosed. The passive sensor system includes at least one ultrasonically vibratable sensor (10) and an ultrasonic activation and detection system (20, 22, 24, 25). The sensor (10) has at least one vibration frequency which is a function of a physical variable to be sensed. The ultrasonic activation and detection system (20, 22, 24, 25) excites the sensor and detects the vibration frequency from which it determines a value of the physical variable. The sensor includes (see fig.2-4) a housing, a membrane which is attached to the housing and which is responsive to the physical variable, a vibratable beam attached to the housing at one end and a coupler, attached to the membrane and to a small portion of the vibratable beam, which bends the vibratable beam in response to movement of the membrane.

L'invention concerne un système de détection passif (14) utilisant l'énergie ultrasonore. Ce système comprend au moins un détecteur sensible aux vibrations ultrasonores (10) et un système ultrasonore de détection et d'activation (20, 22, 24, 25). Le détecteur (10) possède au moins une fréquence de vibration qui est fonction d'une variable physique à détecter. Le système ultrasonore de détection et d'activation (20, 22, 24, 25) excite le détecteur et détecte la fréquence de vibration, à partir de laquelle il détermine une valeur de la variable physique. Le détecteur comprend (Fig. 2-4) un boîtier, une membrane fixée au boîtier et réagissant à la variable physique, une règle vibrante fixée au boîtier à une extrémité et un coupleur fixé à la membrane, ainsi qu'à une petite partie de la règle vibrante et incurvant la règle vibrante en réaction au déplacement de la membrane.
