Description
Content
SI units; metrology; measuring physical quantities; transducers; protection against noise sources; signal processing; computer aided measurement
Completion methods
Assignments, laboratory work, examination
Assessment details
The final grade is based on the examination (50 %), laboratory work (30 %) and assignments (20 %). To pass the course, students need at least 50 % of the examination points. Full points from the assignments require that students have successfully completed 80 % of the assignments. All laboratory work must be completed successfully.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to name SI units and describe their definitions as well as explain basic concepts of metrology traceability, calibration, uncertainty. Students are able to explain function of different parts of measurement system and compare different sensor/transducer types and select the most suitable for the application. They will be able to measure electrical quantities, identify sources of noise and eliminate them from a measurement system. They will be able to devise a simple measurement system in order to measure physical quantities and construct a simple computer aided measurement in LabView environment as well as explain operating principle of a lock-in amplifier.
