The electronics consist mainly of an oscillator combining high stability and low distortion, as well as an RMS 
converter,  the  automatic  gain  control  (AGC),  the  driver  for  the  ceramic  resonator  and  the  feedback  signal 
conditioning. 
The RMS level of the signal provided by the sensor is compared with the factory set reference level; the dif-
ference  adjusts  the  signal  width  generated  by  the  oscillator  and  thus  the  acoustic  signal  generated  by  the 
piezoelectric transducer through automatic gain control.  
The signal provided  by  the sensor slightly  varies  with the ambient temperature  and the static pressure; the 
frequency of the signal provided by the oscillator is also stable in relation to ambient parameters.
