| Holder(s) : | Philippe Vanderbemden | |
|  | | |
|  | | |
| Course contents :
| Physical principles of resistive, inductive, capacitive, piezoelectric, magnetic, thermoelectric, ultrasonic and optoelectronic (micro)sensors. Interface electronic circuits. | |
|  | | |
| Course objective :
| The aims of this course are to: - understand the physical principles of sensors as well as their respective interface electronic circuits; - develop practical skills as well as the ability to design and use various sensors; - to develop an awareness of various sources of noise and errors using sensors (e.g. industrial / biomedical applications and severe environmental conditions). | |
|  | | |
| Prerequisites :
| --- | |
|  | | |
| Workshops :
| Practical courses involve laboratory experiments (5 sessions) about position, speed, pression, temperature and displacement sensors. | |
|  | | |
| Organization :
| Theoretical lectures (30 hours) : 2nd semester. Practical courses (30 hours) : schedule to be determined depending on the measurement lab vacancies | |
|  | | |
| Written notes :
| Course material is available at the "Centrale des cours de l'A.E.E.S."
Reference book : "Les capteurs en instrumentation industrielle", G. Asch et collaborateurs (Dunod 1999). | |
|  | | |
| Assessment :
| Throughout the year : written tests during laboratory sessions, laboratory reports
June : oral exam (theory + lab). | |
