Course detail

Sensors of nonelectrical Quantity

FEKT-NSNVAcad. year: 2011/2012

The course presents to studnets basic sensor principles, concepts and procedures of the non-electrical quantities measurements. It presents the specific problems of the non-electrical quantities measurements on the real industry problems and compare them with electrical quantities measurements. Also the optical and optical fibre sensors and measurement techniques, data acquisition, process and evaluation are preseneted.

Aims

The goal of this course is introduce the students to the basic principles of sensors, their theory, construction and gives them basic information for sensor design, construction and optimal applications. This course also introduces students with basic sensor problem areas (parasitic effects, calibration, diagnostics). The general goal of this course is an engineering knowledge of the sensor informatics.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
