Holder(s) :  Philippe Vanderbemden
Language :  French language
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 mandatory 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).
