Course detail
Sensors of nonelectrical Quantity
FEKT-NSNVAcad. year: 2013/2014
This course provides students with an overview of the principles of modern sensors used, their parameters and construction. It deals with instrumentation, policies and procedures for the measurement of non-electrical quantities. On the real industry experience presents the specifics of these measurements and differences between conventional electrical measurement of electrical quantities. Attention is also paid to the sensors and measurement techniques using optical signals, optical fiber sensors and data collection, processing and evaluation (presentation) of measured results.
