Curriculum
- Introduction. Types of measurement. Definitions and standards. Units and systems of units.
- Methods of measurement. Measurement strategy. Measurement errors.
- Characteristics of measurement systems. Description of measurement systems using differential equations.б
- Reciprocal effect of measurement system on measured object, matching. Noise and disturbance (interference).
- Structure of measurement systems. Sensors.
- Measured signal transform. Ideal operational amplifier.
- Specific circuits on operational amplifiers. Lock-in amplifier. Nonlinear signal processing.
- Digital-to-analog conversion. Digital-to-analog converters.
- Instrument-computer data exchange. б Slang. Tasks.
Note. б The course does not include estimation of systematic and random errors as it is assumed to be known from laboratory practice at Institute of Physics and Technology.
