Advances in Modern Sensors
Physics, design, simulation and applicationsSensors are integral
to modern living and are found in a huge number of applications in science,
engineering and technology thus it is critical for scientists and technologists
to understand the physical principles behind sensor types as well as their
characteristics, applications, and how they can be suitably employed in sensor
technologies. Whilst there exists a vast literature on the physics and
characteristics of traditional sensors, this book provides a broad overview of
the range of sensor technologies and attendant topics needed to optimise and
utilise these devices in the modern world. Not only reviewing sensors by
classification, the book encompasses the physics, design characteristics,
simulation and interface electronics, and it includes case studies,
future challenges and several other aspects of wider sensor technology to
provide an overview of modern sensors and their applications. The broad scope
will appeal to industrial and academic researchers and application engineers, especially those developing and implementing real-time hardware implementations employing smart sensors for emerging applications.
