Trade-Offs in Sensor Systems Design: A Tutorial

In this tutorial, we discuss trade-offs in sensor system design. With examples from engineered systems our laboratories, address design considerations at the different levels, choice of a particular to signal conditioning circuits, data converter, and communication physical interfaces. Fundamental concepts information theory, as well practical applied specific case studies, are presented for readout systems. particular, both fundamental such representation conversion, technological place quantization (signal conversion) application demands integration technologies. The tutorial deals with what is commonly referred Analog Front End (AFE) up point where represented digital symbols. Although discussion focuses on all processing steps AFE, more system-level approach further explored, including stand-alone approaches communication. Major during discussed, providing important methodology insights towards sensory operating within demanding constraints.
