To maintain high resolution and accuracy within a transducer or sensor-based measurement system, the designer must exercise care in selecting the excitation source for the transducer — and the ...

Gathering information on physical phenomena such as force, pressure, light, temperature, strain and current is an invaluable tool when designing many systems. Sensors convert changes in physical ...

A new theoretical framework unifies excitation, emission, and collection in D-shaped fiber optic sensors, improving fluorescence-based sensing capabilities.

LVDTs may not be new. But frictionless measurement and nearly infinite resolution never go out of style. A linear-variable-differential transformer, or LVDT, is basically a transducer that converts ...

This article discusses the history and design challenges for designing a resistance temperature detector (RTD)-based temperature measurementsystem. It also covers RTD selection and configuration trade ...

To reduce noise and voltage drops in analog voltage signals, the market place has adopted an analog current (4-20mA) output as its sensor signaling standard. A very robust signal, 4-20mA current ...
