Features: This book is divided into 17 chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 introduce the general characteristics of sensors, analytical methods, and commonly used new sensitive materials. Chapters 5 to 9 cover common and widely applied sensors, such as resistance strain-type, capacitive, inductive, voltage, and piezoresistive sensors. They analyze their basic principles, static and dynamic characteristics, and measurement circuits, while also introducing relevant design knowledge and applications. Chapters 10 to 16 discuss the principles and applications of new types of sensors, including thermoelectric, photodiode, solid-state image, solid-state magnetoelectric, humidity-sensitive, gas-sensitive, radiation, microwave, and fiber-optic sensors. Chapter 17 introduces the fundamentals of sensor interface technology. This book can serve as a textbook for students majoring in detection technology, instrumentation, automatic control, and various electromechanical disciplines at the junior college, undergraduate, and graduate levels. It can also be referenced by students from other disciplines or relevant engineering professionals.
