Description
Physical principles and practical use of modern sensors and measurement systems. Quantitative characterization of measurement systems, noise reduction, statistical analysis of measurement data. Physical basis for various types of measurement sensors including: mechanical (position, velocity, acceleration, force, pressure, strain), thermal (temperature, thermal expansion, thermoelectric, thermoresistive), electric (capacitive, piezoelectric) and magnetic (Hall, NMR, superconductive). Laboratory provides hands on experience with these sensors and measurement systems.
