Position of the Course

This course covers the electronic measurement of several physical quantities, using sensors, data-acquisition en signalprocessing. This course is divided into two parts. Part 1 describes the general characteristics of a measurement system: principles of signalconditioning (sensor principles, data-transmission, data-acquisition and signal processing) and characterization (static and dynamical). Part 2 describes expamples for measuring strain, pressure, gasses, temperature, humidity, displacement, power consumption, acceleration,... Attention is paid to sensors made by MEM technology.

Contents
