Measurements and Instrumentation: Trends and Applications

by M. K. Ghosh, S. Mukhopadhyay, S. Sen

About the This book is designed for senior undergraduates as well as postgraduates specializing in Measurement and Instrumentation as a major. It is also targeted towards practicing engineers and researchers seeking exposure of certain advanced techniques of measurement. Apart from few chapters on fundamental topics, included for continuity, the book presents a collection of specialized sensing and signal processing techniques not easily found between two covers. Each chapter of this edited volume presents, in a lucid style, a brief background, the motivations principles involved and the techniques, finally ending in its application. A beginner, in the specific areas of Measurement and Instrumentation presented here, will find sufficient material to start with. ͔ Electrical, Optical, Chemical, Biochemical, Nucleonic, Microwave and MEMS ͔Signal Conditioning and Signal Conditioning, Signal Processing, Filtering, Telemetry and Data Communication ͔Image Based Biomedical and Remote Sensing ͔Intelligent Sensor Fusion and Signal Estimation ͔ Irrigation, Medical, Robotic, Bioprocess and Two-phase Flow.
