Smart measurement transducers - course description

Aim of the course

• acquaint students with the metrological properties of the smart measurement transducers (IMT) and error correction methods,
• developing the practical skills in the range of analysing the metrological properties of the IMT.

Prerequisites

Save changes

Fundamentals of metrology, Metrology, Fundamentals of electronics and power electronics, Computer-aided design.

Scope

General characteristics of intelligent measurement transducers. Definition and classification of intelligent measurement transducers. Structure, basic function blocks and operation algorithms. Basic properties of intelligent measurement transducers.

Metrological properties of selected transducer function blocks. Metrological properties of: input circuits of electrical transducers, selected sensors and conditioners, function operators (averaging circuits, analog filters, multipliers, RMS converters, analogue switches and multiplexers, sample and hold (S/H) analog circuits and others).

Methods of error correction. Factors affecting the value of measurement errors. Methods of zero error, sensitivity and nonlinearity correction. Methods of adaptation of the measuring transducers to the parameters of the processed signals. Classical (programmatic) and neural realization of the reproduction process. Selected examples of intelligent measurement transducers.

Teaching methods

• Lecture: conventional/traditional lecture with elements of discussion.
• laboratory: work in the groups, practical excersises.
