Handbook of Modern Sensors: Physics, Designs, and Applications (Handbook of Modern Sensors) Jacob Fraden
Springer, 2003
This book is about devices commonly called sensors. Digital systems, however complex and intelligent they might be, must receive information from the outside world that is generally analog and not electrical. Sensors are interface devices between various physical values and the electronic circuits who "understand" only a language of moving electrical charges. In other words, sensors are the eyes, ...
