Handbook of Modern Sensors

This is a revised, updated edition of Fraden's 1993 edition. This comprehensive reference work presents the fundamental physical principles of sensing; showing how information is converted from nonelectrical to electrical format, digitized and transmitted. It also contains practical information on sensor design and application for daily use in the laboratory, the plant or the classroom. The sensors covered range from simple photodiodes to complex devices comprising resistive, magnetic, optical and other components in combination.
