Learning Outcomes

By the end of the module, students should be able to:
 
LO1 Demonstrate knowledge of time domain and frequency domain representation of signals.
LO2 Classify and analyse different types of signals.
LO3 Describe the operating principles of a variety of practical electronic sensors for a range of different measurands.
LO4 Evaluate sensor choices when designing a sensing system.
LO5 Choose appropriate signal conditioning for a sensor (amplification, filtering, matching etc.).
LO6 Develop and justify solutions to extract information using appropriate signal processing techniques for signals from sensors.
LO7 Discuss sensing approaches for range of applications, including the basic sensor operation through to the extraction and utilisation of the information.
