The invention relates to a rapid search method of a resonant frequency of a
surface acoustic wave resonator (SAWR). Excitation signals synthesized by fixed low-frequency signals and size-adjustable
local oscillator signals are emitted for exciting the SAWR; then whether received signals are effective
excitation signal of the SAWR is determined, if not, the excitation signals are adjusted for performing excitation again, and if so, down-conversion
processing is performed, and a period of echo signals is obtained and stored through searching for
signal zero-crossing points; and finally, a maximum value of the period of the echo signals corresponding to all effective excitation is sought, excitation signals corresponding to maximum period signals are obtained, frequency
estimation is performed on the echo signals generated when the excitation signals act on the
resonator, and a current resonant frequency
estimation value of the SAWR is obtained. According to the invention, the
algorithm does not need frequency
estimation in a scanning process, the whole scanning process is completed in a
time domain,
signal phase influences are eliminated, the scanning speed of the SAWR is effectively accelerated, and the
demodulation speed of an SAW sensor is improved.
