Measurement & Instrumentation :

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. Coverage :- ? Sensors: Electrical Optical Chemical Biochemical Nucleonic Microwave and MEMS ? Signal Conditioning and Processing: Signal Conditioning Signal Processing Filtering Telemetry and Data Communication ? Image Based Instrumentation: Biomedical and Remote Sensing ? Intelligent Instrumentation: Sensor Fusion and Signal Estimation ? Applications: Irrigation Medical Robotic Bioprocess and Two-phase Flow. Chapters of this book have been written by the faculty members and research scholars of Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur based on their experience of research and teaching over three decades in the field of Measurement and Instrumentation.
