Overview of generic sensing system
Sensor detect a physical quantity and convert the information to electrical signal
Transducer convert energy from one form to another e.g. pressure into electrical,
Sensors are transducers, but transducers are more than just sensors. They usually have signal conditioning circuits built in.

Classifying sensors
There are a number of different ways to classify different types of sensors. These could include:
The type of signal produced:
Analog sensors produce a signal that is continuous in both magnitude and temporal (spatial) content. Most physical measurands are analogue.
Digital sensors produce an output in discrete steps or states. Digital signals are typically more repeatable, reliable and easier to transmit.
The power requirements of the device:
Passive device directly generate an electrical signal in response to an external stimuli. The output signal power comes from the stimulus. (Thermocouples Piezoelectric sensors)
Active sensors require an external power supply or an excitation signal for their operation. The output signal power comes from the power supply. (Thermistors, Chemo-resistors)
The type of the Measurand
mechanical / thermal / magnetic etc (see table)
Input/output relationship:
the order of the relationship linear, quadratic, logarithmic.
EEEE3089 2021-2022
Classes of Signals
Periodic signals repeat, such as a fixed frequency sine wave which is continuous over all time.
Aperiodic signals have no observable periods but may not be random.
Deterministic signals have a structure that when analysed allows one to predict or determine the future course of the signal.
Random signals have no structure, but they do have properties. They are indeterministic in that the data could have occurred in any order and the signal would not appear to be different.
Stochastic signals combine both deterministic and random components. Most real engineering signals fall into this class because we have the useful components of the signal with unwanted electronic noise superimposed.

Signal Conditioning
Next Stage
Conversion
Amplification
Signal conditioning
Anything you need to do to get the signal into the right form for subsequent processing comes under signal conditioning.
Linearization if the sensor produces a nonlinear output you may deal with this here, these days this tends to be done in software
Amplification to get the signal big enough for the next stage
Filtering to remove out of band noise or drift.
Other things: Electrical isolation, Power to the sensor (excitation) and monitoring, conversion (current to voltage).

Data Acquisition
DAQ Data Acquisition
Not covered in detail but they do have specifications that we care about if we wish to interface to them.
Input range signal range required, might be programmable, or fixed. +/-1V +/-5V etc.
Bit depth how many bits are used to represent the signal, 8,12,16 bits etc.
Sample rate what the sampling frequency range is , 100K, 1MSa/s
Input impedance low or high input impedance, typically 50Ohm or High Z.
Dynamic range essentially the number of bits and the full scale

and Shot noise
Total noise and NEP
IN = (IS2 + IJ2)0.5
NEP = IN / R()
IJ = (4.k.T.B / Rd)0.5
IJ = Johnson noise current (Arms)
k = Boltzmanns constant (1.33 x 10-23 JK-1)
T = absolute temperature (K)
Rd = shunt resistance ()
IS = (2.e.iD.B)0.5
IS is the shot noise current (Arms)
e = 1.6 x 10-19 C is the electronic charge
iD = dark leakage current (A)
B = system bandwidth (Hz)
Quantisation Error
