Goals

Being able to implement industrial sensors. Being able to estimate the orders of magnitude of the different quantities encountered in the implementation of a sensor. To know the basic physical principles used to transform a physical quantity into an electrical signal and to be able to choose the most suitable sensor in a given situation. Being able to connect a sensor to an electronic circuit while preserving the quality of the signal. Being able to implement the most suitable electronics for passive sensors that minimizes perturbations.
