Course detail
Measurement of physical quantities
FEKT-KMFVAcad. year: 2012/2013
The course presents basic sensor principles, their parameters and construction. It deals with instrumentation, non-electrical quantities measurements concepts and procedures. It also presents tthe differences between conventional electrical measurements of the electrical quantities and non-electrical quantities on the real industry systems. Also the optical sensors, optical fibre sensors, data collecting and acquisition processes are presented.

Aims
The goal of the course is to introduce students to the basic modern solutions and methods of physical quantities measurements. These represent more than 95 % of all measured quantities in the laboratory and industrial areas. The course should also present sensor and physical quantities measurements importance in technical and non-technical fiels, science and generally in information technologies.
