Sensors and Transducers

Sensors and Transducers Sensors and transducers are critical components in modern measurement and control systems, converting physical phenomena into readable signals or vice versa. Understanding the types, working principles, and signal processing involved is essential for engineers and professionals handling measurement and automation technologies. This article provides a comprehensive overview of various sensors and transducers, their operating mechanisms, and signal conditioning techniques. Sensors and Transducers Types of Sensors Sensors are devices that detect changes in the environment or within systems and respond by generating signals that can be interpreted by observers or instruments. Sensors are usually categorised based on the physical property they measure. Common categories include temperature, pressure, flow, and level sensors.
