From simple thermistors to intelligent silicon microdevices withpowerful capabilities to communicate information across networks,sensors play an important role in such diverse fields as biomedicaland chemical engineering to wireless communications. Introducing anew dependent count method for frequency signal processing, thisbook presents a practical approach to the design of signalprocessing sensors.
Modern advanced microsensors technologies require new and equallyadvanced methods of frequency signal processing in order tofunction at inreasingly high speeds. The authors provide acomprehensive overview of data acquisition and signal processingmethods for the new generation of smart and quasi-smart sensors.The practical approach of the text includes coverage of the designof signal processing methods for digital, frequency, period,duty-cycle and time interval sensors.
* Contains numerous practical examples illustrating the design ofunique signal processing sensors and transducers
* Details traditional, novel, and state of the art methods forfrequency signal processing
* Coverage of the physical characteristics of smart sensors,development methods and applications potential
* Outlines the concept, principles and nature of the method ofdependent count (MDC) ; a unique method for frequency signalprocessing, developed by the authors
This text is a leading edge resource for measurement engineers,researchers and developers working in microsensors, MEMS andmicrosystems, as well as advanced undergraduates and graduates inelectrical and mechanical engineering.
