Course overlap

If you pass the examination in this course, you will get an reduction in credits (as stated below), if you previously have passed the following courses:

FYS-290 Measurement techniques, general principles 9 ects

Course content

The course focuses on the physical and technological understanding of measurement systems and techniques. The course covers the general structure of measuring systems including the following basic components contained in most designs: sensor elements, signal conditioning elements and signal processing elements. Besides the general structure and applications of measurement systems, the course includes theory for analyzing properties of static and dynamic setups. Statistical methods relevant for describing uncertainties (bias and fluctuations) in measurement systems are also covered. Exercises focused on design and evaluation of performance will be emphasized.

Recommended prerequisites

AUT-2006 Electronics, FYS-1003 Experimental physics, MAT-1001 Calculus 1
