Synopsis
This is a revised, updated edition of Fraden's 1993 edition. This comprehensive reference work presents the fundamental physical principles of sensing; showing how information is converted from nonelectrical to electrical format, digitized and transmitted. It also contains practical information on sensor design and application for daily use in the laboratory, the plant or the classroom. The sensors covered range from simple photodiodes to complex devices comprising resistive, magnetic, optical and other components in combination.
Revue de presse
"Sensors are the eyes, the ears and the noses of the silicium chips. ... The aim of the author is to provide comprehension, samples, general solutions for use, tables of practical data, all in volume. He succeeds to provide an enormous amount of information. ... It s a wonderful illustration of physics. ... a very interesting and good book, useful for experimental physicist or engineer even for theoreticians to see how theory is applied practically. A book to be placed in each laboratory s library." --J-C. Jodogne, Physicalia, Vol. 28 (4-6), 2006
"This book handles the basic and absolutely most important common areas of all sensor applications. It gives a good overview of a very wide range of sensor applications, which is not found in many other books in such a detailed form. ... This book is useful for everybody who works with any kind of measurement technique. For beginners it is a good introduction to the world of sensors. For advanced users it is a good and extensive handbook and help." --Rüdiger Frank, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 382, 2005
