Without sensors many electronic applications would not exist. The importance of sensors contrasts with the limited information available. Besides describing the principle of operation of most common sensors and covering their advantages and disadvantages, it also analyzes their electronic signal conditioning circuits. Every area from the physical quantity to the analog-to-digital converter is thoroughly discussed. Also covers a broad range of sensors and gives actual specifications for several commercial sensors. Includes several worked-out circuit design examples and discusses problems and annotated solutions that will stimulate the search for and development of new solutions, thus overcoming the need to buy expensive subsystems even for the most basic measurement problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Not Good,
By
This review is from: Sensors and Signal Conditioning, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
I usually do not take time to write a review. However, if you are considering using this book to teach a sensors course, do not! THere are multiple mistakes within the text, including grammatical errors and incorrect equations. The questions at the end of the chapter are good, however the answers in the back of the book are incorrect at least 25% of the time. The organiztion of the book is good for me, but until the errors are corrected, do not use this edition.

Reference engineering text about sensors,
By Massimo Zannoni "Bill" (Italy) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sensors and Signal Conditioning, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
I think this is one of the better engineering text I've ever seen. It includes almost all type of sensors existing at this time. It is quite simply written and easy to use. Most of all I appreciate examples and problems, that are very useful for understanding and applying theoretical constructs.I can say that this book is a reference for an engineer who has to deal with sensors and their applications.
