/Mätteknik M/

For:   EL   M   MI  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 54
Rec. self-study hours: 106

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Physics, Applied Physics, Electrical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2

Aim:
The course gives knowledges of some common transducers for measurement of important non electrical quantities and of computer-based measurements with simple signal processing methods. Also included are methods to handle situations when electrical interferences are present. After the course the student should be able to:
  • describe physical principles for some frequently used transducers.
  • exemplify and measure typical transducer signals.
  • explain the principles of elementary transducer instrument.
  • give examples on representative transducer characteristics.
  • describe functional principles of acquisition cards for computer-based measurements.
  • describe and measure with laser in connection with deformation and vibration holography.
  • explain origins of noise (electrical disturbances) and the principles of noise reduction techniques.
