Sensors: advancements in modeling, design issues, fabrication and practical applications

Sensors are the most important component in any system and engineers in any field need to understand the fundamentals of how these components work, how to select them properly and how to integrate them into an overall system. This book has outlined the fundamentals, analytical concepts, modelling and design issues, technical details and practical applications of different types of sensors, electromagnetic, capacitive, ultrasonic, vision, Terahertz, displacement, fibre-optic and so on. The book: addresses the identification, modeling, selection, operation and integration of a wide variety of sensors, demonstrates theconcepts of different sensors technology through simulation, design and real implementations, discusses the design and fabrication of high performance modern sensors technology, presents a selection of cutting-edge applications. Provides a broad overview of advanced sensors technologyies that cuts across the basic, food, medical and engineering sciences Demonstrates the concepts of different sensors technology through simulation, design and real implementations Discusses the design and fabrication of high performance modern sensors technology INDICE: Electromagnetic Sensors.- Fiber Optic / Optical fibre Sensors.- Wireless Sensors.- Sensors for Tracking and Navigation.- Ultrasonic Sensor.- Image Sensor.- Vision Sensing.- Sensors based on Human Parameter.- Displacement Sensor.- THZ Sensor.
