Measurements in the Buildings

Lecturer:

Petr Kašpar (gar.)

Tutor:

Petr Kašpar (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Measurement

Synopsis:

The students will learn about principles of measurement of basic physical quantities in the building. As the majority of the physical quantities are converted to the electrical signals, an overview of measurement of the electrical quantities is also presented. The subject is not intended for students who have already studied the subjects Electrical measurement and Sensors and transducers on CTU FEE.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Measurements in the buildings - overview, basic methods and parameters

2. Amplifiers, filters

3. Voltage measurement, lock-in amplifier

4. Electrical current and frequency measurement

5. Resistance and impedance measurement

6. A/D a D/A converters

7. Power and energy consumption measurement

8. Instruments for measurement and testing: oscilloscope, multimeter, generator, spectral and logic analyzers

9. Optoelectronic and ultrasound based sensors

10. Resistance based sensors

11. Capacitive sensors

12. Magnetic sensors

13. Solution of examples and tasks, repetition

Syllabus of tutorials:

1. Oscilloscope, arbitrary generator

2. Voltage and electrical current measurement

3. Basic signal processing by OA

4. Evaluation of signals of resistive sensors

5. Measurement of impedance, vectorvoltmeter

6. Measurement of power and energy, static energy meter
