Introduction to Sensors

By Aravind Reghu, Vetelino John, John Vetelino

Book Overview

The need for new types of sensors is more critical than ever, due to the development of increasingly complex technologies, health and security concerns for a burgeoning world population, and the emergence of terrorist activities, among other factors. Depending on their application, the design, fabrication, testing, and use of sensors require a variety of technical and non-technical expertise. This book examines the theoretical foundations and practical applications of sensors in the modern era. It explores various types of sensors and industries that use them, providing background on advances of each type to reveal the underlying rationale for its use.
