Sensors and Actuators

Catalog description

Course covers sensors such as resistive temperature sensors, capacitive touch sensors, and inductive motion sensors and actuators. Numerous applications are presented to motivate coverage of the fundamental operating principles of circuit elements such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors; modded signals produced by these sensors; and analysis of circuits and systems used to amplify and process these signals. Concepts reinforced with the use of laboratory exercises and computer simulation.
