Sensors and Actuators: Engineering System Instrumentation, 2e

Sensors and Actuators: Engineering System Instrumentation explains the inner workings of an engineering system. The text first provides introductory material—practical procedures and applications in the beginning—and then methodically integrates more advanced techniques, theory, and concepts throughout the book. Emphasizing sensors, transducers, and actuators, the author discusses important aspects of component matching and interconnection, interface between the connected components, signal modification, and signal conditioning/modification.

This second edition provides a thorough revision of the first and includes new worked examples, new applications, and thoroughly updated as well as entirely new material. In addition, the text provides increased coverage of sensor systems technologies and updated coverage of computer tools, including MATLAB and Simulink.
