This title presents the general principles of instrumentation
processes. It explains the theoretical analysis of physical
phenomena used by standard sensors and transducers to transform a
physical value into an electrical signal. The pre-processing of
these signals through electronic circuits – amplification,
signal filtering and analog-to-digital conversion – is then
detailed, in order to provide useful basic information.
Attention is then given to general complex systems. Topics
covered include instrumentation and measurement chains, sensor
modeling, digital signal processing and diagnostic methods and the
concept of smart sensors, as well as microsystem design and
applications. Numerous industrial examples punctuate the
discussion, setting the subjects covered in the book in their
practical context.
