Sensor Systems

Reviews / Votes

"This is the most comprehensive book on sensor systems that I have come across. It has several impressive features. For example:
-Physics, analytical modeling, design features and application of a wide range of important sensors are covered;

-Application of individual sensors and multiple or networked sensors is treated along with the needed procedures, hardware and software;

-Such advanced practical topics as wireless sensor networks, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, multi-sensor data fusion is presented;

-Numerous illustrative examples, design examples, laboratory experiments, practical applications, and realistic case studies are provided;

-The presentation is student friendly while presenting both basic and advanced topics;

-The book can serve as both a textbook for a course in sensors, mechatronics or instrumentation, and a reference tool for practitioners."

"Sensor Systems: Fundamentals and Applications is the most comprehensive reference for sensors in engineering systems. It covers all the required fields for undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as a comprehensive reference for research and engineering applications. It is therefore a necessary reference for all engineers and students. In today's engineering systems, use of sensors is inevitable. Particularly, in mechanical, biomedical, structural, electrical and aerospace engineering disciplines. Sensors are the fundamental component of any mechatronic system. In today's critical engineering areas such as unmanned systems, robotics, biomedical engineering, environmental science, and energy, the role of sensor systems is considered as the most important topic in the center of design and understanding of such systems. This unique comprehensive book allows engineers, students, and researchers to better understand the sensor systems and technologies for a very wide range of applications and multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary fields."

"The text focuses on systems of sensors, as opposed to individual sensors, which fits into the larger context of mechatronic system design and provides a valuable addition to texts on control theory and the implementation of designed controllers. The inclusion of MATLAB is appreciated, both for student proficiency in sensor systems and practice in using current computational tools. Finally, the mix of both conceptual and computational practice problems encourages students to both think critically about the problem as well as be capable of designing a sensor system."
