Measurement and Instrumentation Trends and Applications

About the Book:- This book is designed for senior undergraduates as well as postgraduates specializing in Measurement and Instrumentation as a major. It is also targeted towards practicing engineers and researchers seeking exposure of certain advanced techniques of measurement. Apart from few chapters on fundamental topics included for continuity the book presents a collection of specialized sensing and signal processing techniques not easily found between two covers. Each chapter of this edited volume presents in a lucid style a brief background the motivations principles involved and the techniques finally ending in its application. A beginner in the specific areas of Measurement and Instrumentation presented here will find sufficient material to start with.
