The phrase "alternative sensor" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when referring to a different type of sensor that serves a similar purpose or function as another sensor.
Example: "The research team decided to implement an alternative sensor to improve the accuracy of their measurements."
Alternatives: "substitute sensor" or "replacement sensor".
The paper describes the basic principle of operation and alternative sensor configurations.
Calculations are also used to identify errors in the system and to propose alternative sensor locations.
In this work, an alternative sensor architecture and method for mass sensing are presented to address these concerns.
Therefore, an alternative sensor called 'enzymeless sensor', which try to mimic natural enzymes with the same effectiveness and selectivity, has been widely studied [16, 17].
In this study, SiC FET sensors were studied as one alternative sensor to replace the expensive FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared) instrument or the inconvenient wet chemical methods.
New control strategies with linear lambda control at λ=1, for direct injection engines and other lean burn engines operating with excess air (λ>1) need alternative sensor concepts.
Furthermore, using a standardized method to assess deviations of actual performance from predicted performance given the individual parts yields a flexible approach to make comparisons of human processes across several experimental manipulations such as alternative sensors, stimuli, and fusion methods.
Because of the high conservation among these regulatory components, it is hard to exclude the possibility that some of them may serve as alternative sensors for detecting the AI-2.
Considering of the limitations of existing hardware sensors in quantitatively evaluating of rebar corrosion degree, a novel non-contact capacitive transducer (CT) as an alternative hardware sensor, which can directly determine the rust layer thickness, is being developed the first time for corrosion detecting.
We previously reported the construction of an alternative FRET sensor that lacked separate metal binding domains, but in which Zn2+-coordinating amino acids were introduced directly at the so-called dimerization interface of two fluorescent domains.
Here, we report the development of a versatile alternative FRET sensor containing a de novo Cys2His2 binding pocket that was created on the surface of the donor and acceptor fluorescent domains.
