Heated Humidity Sensor for Radiosondes

Open Link in Lightbox
  • Humidity

HMC03M

HMC03M is optimized for short response time even at very low temperature in the upper atmosphere. It combines on a silicon substrate a capacitive relative humidity sensor and a heating resistor (heater).

  • HMC03M heated humidity sensor

  • Response time for HMC03M

    The heater is dedicated for fast recovery of the humidity sensor after condensation or icing. This leads to outstanding measuring performance in high-end weather observation.

    Key Features

    • Very short response time even at low temperature
    • Fast recovery after condensation or icing due to sensor heating
    • High sensitivity and outstanding linearity
