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.
