Smart Sensor Systems
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Sep 2008, Pages: 404
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, and temperature 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.
The integration of microsensors with microelctronic circuitry to produce smart sensors and smart sensor systems is a extremely hot area of research and development. Smart Sensor Systems produce a specific response to a specific stimulus and are being used to develop new industrial production tools and comsumer components, such as smart homes and smart cars. Smart Sensor Systems will discuss all of the important aspects of sensor systems, measurement techniques, microcontrollers and testing and identification. Written with an applications focus, the book will also present a number of case studies by renown experts in the field. These case studies, along with a set of problems at the end of each chapter will enhance the books appeal to students and engineers looking to design new sensor system applications.This book will sit well with our growing list of books on sensors and measurement and reflects the increasing need for accurate and reliable measurement in wide ranging areas of science and engineering applications. Gardner/Microsensors, MEMS and Smart Devices touches on this specific subject area but not in great detail.
