Course Description

Measurement as the part of technology and production process. Principle of operation and selection of the sensors and measurement transducers in relation to their physically-chemical properties and energy transformation. Displacement, deflection and angle, vibration, force and strain measuring sensors. Incremental optical and capacitive sensors. Resistance, capacitance and inductive sensors with digital output. Measurement of torque, RPM, speed and acceleration. Infrared sensors for measuring temperature and displacements. Piezoelectric and Peltier elements. Measurement of air and gass flow (air-flow and mass air-flow sensor) by means of heat wire. MEMS i NEMS transducers (micro and nano electro-mechanical systems).Apllying measuring amplifiers under conditions of high accuracy; controlled and remotely operated amplifiers, differential and instrumentation amplifiers, highly accurate operating amplifiers (low-noising, with low-voltage and low-current offsets and drifts, with the high input resistances).
