The main purpose of this subject is to train students in order that they become well-qualified to understand the physical principles and current techniques employed in the most recent electronic sensors technology.
Course outline:
+ Optical fiber sensors.
+ Laser sensors.
+ Microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS).
+ Image sensors.
+ Integrated sensors.
+ Intelligent sensors.
+ Acoustic wave sensors.
+ Biosensores.
The main goal of the laboratory sessions (practical work) is to enable the students to acquire sufficient understanding and knowledge to:
Analyze the parameters and main features of the sensors.
Know the applications of each group of sensors.
Manage specific software tools developed to design (virtual) instruments that allow store, display and analyze recorded data.
The documentation of the course will be in English. It will be taught and assessed in Spanish.
