It also presents detailed case studies of several real-life measurement systems to illustrate how theoretical analysis and high-level designs are translated into working scientific instruments.
The book is meant for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, applied physics, and biomedical engineering. It is designed to fill a gap in the market between books focused on specific components of measurement systems (semiconductor devices, analog circuits, digital signal processing, etc.) and books that provide a high-level "survey" or "handbook"-type overview of a wide range of sensors and measurement systems.
- Develops a unified treatment of modern scientific instruments by combining knowledge of high-performance sensors, semiconductor devices, circuits, signal processing, and embedded computing
- Focuses on fundamental concepts in precision sensing and interface circuitry (accuracy, precision, linearity, noise, etc.) and their impact on system-level performance instead of presenting a "laundry list" of sensor types
- Introduces readers to the indispensable role of signal detection theory, pattern recognition, and machine learning for modern scientific instrumentation
- Presents multiple case studies and examples to demonstrate how theoretical concepts are translated into real-life measurement systems
Senior-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, applied physics, biomedical engineering, and related disciplines / Roughly 125 US schools offer an bioinstrumentation course taken by 9,000 students, while another 30 US schools offer an electronic instrumentation course. It is estimated that the global number is approximately double
