Course detail
Special Sensors
FEKT-MSPSAcad. year: 2017/2018
The course deals with the principles of the most widely used semiconductor, optoelectronic and fiber-optic sensors. Students will learn characteristic constructions of sensors, the basic technological processes in their production, typical characteristics, parameters, usage, applications and limitations of sensors. Emphasis is also placed on familiarization with types of output circuits, data processing and signal processing from the output of these sensors . There will be discussed also a requirements for smart sensors (eg. methods of diagnostics, calibration sensors) and MEMS sensors. Students will gain practical experience with selected semiconductor photoelectric sensors and fiber in the laboratory exercises.
