Vaisala's DEWCAP[TM] sensor uses Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology to usher in a new generation of condensation hygrometers. In Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology the temperature controlled quartz sensor surface is cooled until dew or frost collects on the sensor surface. The presence or absence of condensation is sensed using the SAW instead of the traditional optical beam used in chilled mirrors.
