The sensor integrates a u-shaped lossless taper thus offering the advantages of a terminal temperature probe free from of strain cross-sensitivity and showing installation flexibility while enabling effective serial multiplexing. The experimental validation of the probe design is reported, being demonstrated lossless operation and effective elimination of strain cross-sensitivity up to 400 degrees C.
