Introduction to Measurements and Instrumentation - Softcover

Modern scientific world requires an increasing number of complex measure-ments and instruments. The material presented in this text is designed to ensure that the student gains a thorough understanding of the concepts and principles of measurement of physical quantities and the related transducers and instruments. Signal conditioning is explained elaborately in three successive chapters dealing with bridge circuits, linear and nonlinear processes, and recovery and conversion of signals. The style of delivery is straightforward, pragmatic, and concise. Worked-out examples are included throughout the text and review questions, culled from examination papers of many universities, are presented at the end of each chapter. Solutions to all numerical problems are given at the end of the book.
