Editorial Reviews -- Book News, Inc. A new edition of the streamlined guide to the basic physical principles, design specifications, and uses of contemporary sensors and detectors. Fraden (Vice President, Research and Technology, Braun-Thermoscan) forms a foundation of sensor design, exploring the interfaces between sensors and peripheral processing devices, and surveying current sensor devices including occupancy and motion detectors, electromagnetic velocity, tactile, pressure, radiation, light and flow sensors. The volume features new discussions of acoustic waves and temperature and chemical sensors in addition to manufacturing methods and materials. Includes illustrations. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved
Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology "...a very useful book.... It strikes an excellent balance between a large variety of different sensor types and moderate description of each to yield a book of reasonable length.... Provides excellent information on all types of physical measurements. I recommend it highly."
Book Description
The Handbook's coverage of sensors is extensive, ranging from simple photodiodes to complex devices containing components in combination. It offers hard-to-find reference data on the properties of numerous materials and sensing elements and emphasizes devices that are less well-known, whose technology is still being refined, and whose use permits the measurement of variables that were previously inaccessible.
