This module will give you an overview of electrical measurement theory and practice, especially at high frequencies. A main objective is to provide you with an understanding of measurement capabilities and limitations.

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to: 1. argue the operation principles and limitations of various measurement sensors/transducers for mechanical and electromagnetic stimuli. 2. defend the use of recently invented sensors (SQUID, GMR, QHE, etc) in applications with severe performance requirements. 3. design interface circuits to optimise transducer performance. 4. develop embedded code to implement data acquisition (including subsampling and irregular sampling) and signal conditioning 5. assemble a PCB level prototype of a specified measurement instrument
