TFMÄ34 Current Topics in Measurement Technology, 3 ECTS-points
/Aktuell mätteknik/

Advancement level:
D

Aim:
To provide an insight in the function and design of a modern measurement system including various aspects ranging from the sensor principle to the application.

Prerequisites:
Basic courses in physics and electronics.

Supplementary courses:
TFMÄ02 Computers in measurements, TFMÄ77 Project work in measurement

Course organization:
Lectures and laboratory work with one exercise on the sensor principle and one on an application. Guest lecturers are invited to demonstrate applications. A visit to a research laboratory is also included. The course is given in English if students from abroad are attending.

Course content:
A measurement system is studied in detail from sensor principle to application. The system ischosen from the current research at the department and may e. g. be the electronic nose or biosensor systems based on surface plasmon resonance or other optical principles. As an introduction a short and brief overview of measurement technology is given. The measurement system is then studied with respect to physical sensor principle, the sensor device, design of the system, read-out electronics, amplifiers, signal processing, linearization, filtering, data aquisition, noise, data presentation, multisensing, applications.

Course literature:
Not determined

Written exam. Laboratory work.
