EEEN3001J Electronics for Sensors

Academic Year 2023/2024

Restriction: Beijing-based students only.

This course deals with the analysis and design of electronic circuits that are used with sensors to deliver reliable information in digital form.

Topics include: overview of sensing systems and sensor examples, signal transport and condition, op-amps for sensing applications, instrumentation amplifier, oscillators, sampling, analogue to digital conversion, filters. Some common sensors are covered during the course through application examples.
