Physics 2 for Cybernetics and Measurement (X02F2C)

Lecturer:

Pavel Ripka (gar.)

Tutor:

Pavel Ripka (gar.), Vojtěch Petrucha, Martin Šimůnek

Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

Principles of popular sensors and methods of measurement of non-electric variables: from industrial applications to consumer electronics. We concentrate on physical principles, circuits for processing the sensor signals and on defining the application area of each sensor type. The course gives background for choosing a sensor suitable for specific application and for designing the sensor interface for measurement/control system.
