Description

This module explores key sensor operation principles, characteristics and limitations as well as how to design analogue processing circuits to instrument the sensors. The module focuses on sensors and instrumentation systems for biomedical and environmental monitoring applications.

This module will cover the following topics

-Sensor characteristics

-Sensor/electrode categories (ECG/EMG/EEG, electrochemical sensors, Pressure, Temperature, Mechanical, Capacitive)

- Signal actuation, conditioning and readout, including signal conversion, amplification and filtering

- noise, interference

- Electrochemical readout techniques

-New & emerging sensors for medical & environmental monitoring, e.g. CMOS sensors,

- Integrated circuits (IC) based instrumentation (case studies
