Fraden J. Handbook of Modern Sensors: Physics, Designs, and Applications

Springer, 2003. — 590 p. — ISBN / ASIN: 0387007504.This volume covers many modern sensors and detectors. It is clear that one book cannot embrace the whole variety of sensors and their applications, even if it is called something like The Encyclopedia of Sensors. This is a different book, and the author’s task was much less ambitious. Here, an attempt has been made to generate a reference text that could be used by students, researchers interested in modern instrumentation (applied physicists and engineers), sensor designers, application engineers, and technicians whose job is to understand, select, and/or design sensors for practical systems.Содержание.
