Features: This textbook primarily describes the sensors used in the measurement of geometric and mechanical quantities, such as resistive sensors, inductive sensors, capacitive sensors, magnetoelastic sensors, piezoelectric sensors, photoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, and resonant sensors. It also systematically introduces sensors for measuring other physical quantities, including thermoelectric sensors, ultrasonic and microwave sensors, radiation sensors, semiconductor sensors, and others. This book is revised based on the third edition, with appropriate additions of new types of sensors commonly used in industry and research, such as amorphous alloy sensors, superconductor sensors, liquid crystal sensors, thin-film sensors, microelectromechanical sensors, and intelligent sensors. The entire book is organized by working principles, with clear structure, content, and selections reflecting the current state of industrial production and research in China. It also strengthens the analysis of sensor characteristics, accuracy, and practical applications. The target readers of this book are undergraduate students and faculty in the fields of measurement and control technology and instruments, as well as engineers, researchers, and graduate students in related disciplines.
