/Mätteknik /

For:   TB  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 48
Rec. self-study hours: 112

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
To provide an overview of principles and methods of modern measurement technology. In the course the measurement of both electrical and non-electrical signals are treated. After the course the student should be able to:
  • explain simple theories behind measurements of current and voltage of electrical cicuits, DC and AC, with multimeter and oscilloscope, and perform such measurements.
  • explain the detection principle of perform measurements with some physical and chemical sensors
  • explain components and functions in a computerized measurement system including; sensors, sensor interfaces, digitizing, data transmission, data analysis and data presentation
  • implement numeric calculations and simulations related to the concepts in TFMT14
  • demonstrate the ability to calculate the quantitative aspects related to the concepts in this course.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Calculus, Electric Circuits, Engineering Mechanics, Physics,

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Biosensor Technology

Organisation:
Lectures, problem solving tutorials and laboratory exercises

Course contents:
Measurements of electrical properties with multimeter and oscilloscope. Components and functions of a measurement system; sensor, signal conditioning, linearization, signal transmission, A/D conversion, presentation, measurement data acquisition and treatment.
