Claim 12:
13. A sensor discriminator configured for detecting at least one gaseous substance based on a change in at least one electrical property of a metal organic framework when exposed to the at least one gaseous substance, the sensor discriminator comprising:
a power source;
a discrimination module comprising a comparator;
a sensor simulator comprising at least one simulation component configured to simulate the metal organic framework under at least one simulation condition; and
a processor programmed to:
cause generation of a discrimination pulse comprising a first electrical pulse from the power source having passed through the metal organic framework,
cause generation of a simulation pulse comprising a second electrical pulse from the power source having passed through the at least one simulation component of the sensor simulator,
compare, via the comparator of the discrimination module, the discrimination pulse to the simulation pulse in respect of at least one electrical property, depending at least in part on at least one electrical parameter of the metal organic framework augmented by a presence and/or a concentration of the at least one gaseous substance,
generate, via the discrimination module, a discriminator output comprising the comparison of the discrimination pulse to the simulation pulse and indicative of the presence and/or the concentration of the at least one gaseous substance.
