Course content
Measurement uncertainty: Bias/random errors; Selectivity/sensitivity; ISO/IEC GUM (Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement); Calibration.
Noise analysis: Noise, sources and properties, e.g. Thermal noise, 1/f-noise, shot noise, noise in A/D and DA converters; Modeling of noise in electrical circuits.
Sensors and actuators: Static vs dynamic properties of transducers; Transfer functions; Ideal and realistic transduce models; Resolution, linearization, dynamic range, detection threshold.
Sensor types: Environment and bio sensors; Fiberoptical sensors; MEMS; Human's sensing organs, etc
Learning outcome
Knowledge Objectives: The students should
1. Understand the theory of measurement uncertainty, and how the theory is used in practice.
2. Understand the principles for, and models of, some types of transducers.
3. Understand what sources of noise exist in an instrumentation circuit.
4. Understand how the electrical circuits that are combined with sensors and actuators in instrumentation circuits affect its functionality.
Skills: After finishing the course, a student should be able to:
1. Perform a measurement, estimate the measurement uncertainty, and express it on standard forms.
2. Design an instrumentation circuit and analyse its properties as regards noise/dynamic range, linearity.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures; Guest lectures by industry representatives; Laboratory exercises with associated lectures and exercises.
Further on evaluation
If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
If the exam is to be repeated, the whole course needs to be taken.
