Course guarantor:

Martin Novák

Lecturer:

Martin Novák

Tutor:

Martin Novák

Supervisor:

Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The course is focused on the mastery of the measurement of non-electrical properties such as temperature, pressure, humidity, position, speed etc. Apart from the sensor principles also its correct application will be discussed. Alsoposibilities of signal verification will be discussed. Specific discussed physical properties will be selected based on the students needs. The students submits a research report on a given topic related to the thesis topic

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

• Temperature sensors (contact, non-contact)

• Sensors for force, pressure, humudity

• Sensors for position, deformation, speed, acceleration

• Liquid level, flow sensors
