DESCRIPTION Primarily intended as a textbook for undergraduate courses in applied electronics and instrumenta on engineering,   instrumenta on   and   control   engineering,   electrical   and   electronics   engineering   and electronics   and   telecommunica on   engineering,   this   student‐friendly   book   provides   an   in‐depth coverage of transducers. Organised in 12 chapters, the book •       presents   a   comprehensive   classifica on   of   transducers   based   on   common   proper es   such   as mechanical,   resis ve,   induc ve,   capaci ve,   piezoelectric,   magne c,   fibre‐op c,   ultrasonic   and electrochemical; •     discusses the general principles of each group, presen ng their applica ons in sensing physical quan es such as pressure, temperature and so on; •     outlines the dis nguishing features of transducers and elaborates on modern sensors based on op cal fibres (intensity modulated, phase modulated and spectrally modulated sensors such as Bragg gra ng, Fabry–Pérot interferometer, Brillouin sca ering sensor) and sensors based on surface acous c wave; and •   contains numerous solved examples and review ques ons that illustrate the applica on of theory to reinforce the concepts.
