Smart Sensor Systems (PDF)

With contributions from an internationally-renowned group of
experts, this book uses a multidisciplinary approach to review
recent developments in the field of smart sensor systems, providing
complete coverage of all important system and design aspects, their
building blocks and methods of signal processing. It examines
topics over the whole range of sensor technology from the theory
and constraints of basic elements, the applied techniques and
electronic, up to the level of application-orientated issues.

Developed as a complementary volume to 'Smart Sensor
Systems' (Wiley 2008), which introduces the theoretical
foundations, this volume focuses on practical applications,
including:

* State-of-the-art techniques for designing smart sensors and
smart sensor systems, with measurement techniques at system level,
such as collaboration and trimming, and impedance-measurement
techniques.

* Sensing elements and sensor systems for the measurement of
mechanical quantities, and microarrays for DNA detection.

* Circuitdesign for sensor systems, such as the design of
low-noise amplifiers, and measurement techniques at device level,
such as dynamic offset cancellation and optical imagers.

* Implantable smart sensors for bio-medical applications and
automotive sensors.

* A supplementary website hosts case studies and a solutions
manual to the problems

Smart Sensor Systems: Emerging Technologies and
Applications will greatly benefit final year undergraduate and
postgraduate students in the areas of electrical, mechanical and
chemical engineering, and physics. Professional engineers and
researchers in the microelectronics industry, including microsystem
developers, will also find this a thorough and useful volume.
