Sensors, Circuits, and Systems for Scientific Instruments: Back-Ends and Applications

by Soumyajit Mandal Ph.D.

Overview

Sensors, Circuits, and Systems for Scientific Instruments: Back-Ends and Applications delves into the advanced world of sensors and circuits tailored for precision measurements. This text builds on foundational concepts from prior studies and focuses on the sophisticated processes in the later stages of measurement. From data converters to digital signal processing, and parameter estimation to machine learning, this volume provides students with critical insights into testing, verification, and system integration through practical case studies involving various scientific instruments.

Designed for senior undergraduates and entry-level graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, applied physics, and biomedical engineering, this book bridges a gap between component-focused texts and broad surveys, offering a thorough understanding of back-end systems and applications.
