Information processing systems need sensors to acquire the
physical, mechanical and chemical information to be able to
function. For extended use of sensors in industrial production
tools and consumer components, such as smart cars and smart homes,
the reliability of the sensors should be improved and the cost
dramatically reduced. The improvement of reliability, together with
a reduction of cost, can only be achieved with smart sensor
systems.
These systems combine the functions of sensors and interfaces,
including sensors, signal conditioning A-D (analog to digital)
conversion, and bus interfacing. Also, applications at a higher
hierarchical level are included, such as self-testing,
auto-calibration, data evaluation and identification. Developments
into the integration of sensors with electronic circuitry to
produce smart sensors and smart sensor systems are increasing as
research in this field continues to expand.
Written by an internationally-recognized team of experts, this
book reviews recent developments in the field of smart sensor
systems, providing complete coverage of all important system
aspects. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to the
understanding, design and use of smart sensor systems, their
building blocks and methods of signal processing. This book also
contains:
a review of powerful measurement techniques, and basic
principles and typical problems of sensor elements, smart analog
interfaces and A-D converters;
a discussion about how to use microcontrollers and DSPs (digital
signal processors) for sensor applications;
detailed up-to-date reviews of the features of optical,
integrated hall magnetic, capacitive, thermal sensors,
andtemperature sensors and physical chemosensors;
numerous case studies and problems set at the end of each
chapter to test and develop your knowledge on the theory. Solutions
for all can be found on the accompanying website.
Smart Sensor Systems will greatly benefit final year
undergraduate and postgraduate students and professors in the areas
of electrical, mechanical and chemical engineering, and physics.
Professional engineers and researchers in the microelectronics
industry, including microsystem developers, will also find this a
thorough and useful volume.
