ECE 6140 - Sensors and Instrumentation

Credits: (3)
Typically Taught Spring Semester: Full Sem
Course Fee: $50.00
Course Fee Purpose: Lab related consumables and maintenance of laboratory equipment.
Description: This course introduces a host of sensor technologies from both theoretical and practical perspectives. A study of the electronics for sensor signal conditioning will be complemented by lectures on the principles and operation of various sensor modalities including pressure, thermal, strain, displacement, inertial, magnetic field, optical, coustic, and/or bio-medical. Students will be introduced to precision analog circuit architectures, noise analysis, and signal processing algorithms commonly used in data acquisition systems.
Pre-requisite(s): ECE 3210 and either ECE 3110 and ECE 3130 or BME 3130.
