ELEC60018 InstrumentationLecturer(s): Dr Christos Papavassiliou Aims
To give an overview of electrical measurement theory and practice. A main objective is to provide an understanding of measurement capabilities and limitations.
Learning Outcomes
Understand the operation and limitations of various measurement sensors/transducers, and design suitable circuts and procedures to optimise transducer performance.
Apply Signal processing and circuit design techniques to measurement situations. Syllabus
