Introduction The thermocouple is a simple, widely used component for measuring temperature. This article provides a basic overview of thermocouples, describes common challenges encountered when designing with them, and suggests two signal conditioning solutions. The first solution combines both reference-junction compensation and signal conditioning in a single analog IC for convenience and eas...

Temperature variations are one of the most crucial factors that need to be compensated for in MEMS sensors. Many traditional methodologies require an additional circuit compensate temperature. This work describes a new active temperature compensation method capacitive strain sensors without circuits. The proposed is based on complement 2-D structure design. It consumes zero-power, which essenti...

A compensation method for the sensitivity drift of a magnetoresistive (MR) Wheatstone bridge current sensor is proposed. The technique was carried out by placing a ruthenium temperature sensor and the MR sensor to be compensated inside a generalized impedance converter circuit (GIC). No internal modification of the sensor bridge arms is required so that the circuit is capable of compensating pr...

The MEMS gyroscope zero drifts dominantly affects measurement accuracy of gyroscope. For the nonlinear problem that MEMS gyro zero drift varying with the temperature changes, the wavelet transform was performed to filter the static experiment zero drift data, then the zero drift was investigate by combing with the improved grey prediction theory. Finally a temperature compensation model based o...
