Sensors are used to measure physical, chemical and biological quantities. The book offers a comprehensive overview of physical principles, functions and applications of sensors. It is structured according to the fields of activity of sensors and shows their application by means of typical examples. Measured variables that can be recorded by sensors are e.g. mechanical, dynamic, thermal, electrical and magnetic. Furthermore, optical and acoustical sensors are discussed in detail in the book. The sensor signals are recorded, processed and converted into control signals for actuators. Such sensor systems are also presented.
In the age of the Internet, in which all information is available on the net in more or less good quality and companies provide a lot of information in pictures and text, to write a comprehensive work about sensor technology is a special challenge. We have written a book by practitioners for practitioners and by scientists for the students and prospective scientists of technical, biological and medical faculties. Our goal was to present the field of sensor technology in a comprehensive way and also to deal with its peripheral areas such as interfaces and safety aspects. We have structured the wealth of information and prepared it in a clear, compact and illustrative way. Together with a network of universities and industry, we have brought together the competencies that make this work unique in breadth and depth. In this way, it is a valuable textbook, a comprehensive reference book and an important aid to orientation in the variety of possible applications and uses of sensors for students and practitioners alike.
This work provides a comprehensive overview of sensors of physical, chemical, climatic, meteorological, biological and medical quantities. After an introduction in Chap. 1, the second chapter discusses the physical effects that are used for sensor use. In the following 11 chapters the fields of application of the sensors are presented: The acquisition of geometric quantities such as displacement and angle (Chap. 3), mechanical quantities (Chap. 4), time-based quantities (Chap. 5), thermal sensors (Chap. 6), sensors for electrical and magnetic quantities (Chap. 7), optical and acoustic quantities (Chaps. 8 and 9), sensors for climatic and meteorological purposes (Chap. 10), sensors in chemistry (Chap. 11) as well as in biology and medicine (Chap. 12), measurement of ionizing radiation (Chap. 13) as well as photoelectric sensors in Chap. 14. The electrical output signals must be processed and the sensors must be calibrated in order to measure the sensor signals truthfully (Chap. 15). The interfaces for transmission and further processing as well as the networking of different sensors play a very important role (Chap. 16). Safety aspects of sensors are dealt with in Chap. 17 and measurement errors and measurement accuracies are dealt with in Chap. 18. After each chapter, references to further literature or Internet addresses are given. This enables the readers to obtain more detailed information.
