INTRODUCTION
 Sensors technology are used in everyday objects.
 It is normally are used in cars, machines,
aerospace, medicine, manufacturing and robotics.
WHAT IS SENSOR
 is a device that measures a physical quantity
and converts it into a signal which can be read
by an observer or by an instrument.

 Sensor represent part of the interface between

the physical world and the world of electrical
devices.
EXAMPLE 1
 Thermocouple converts temperature to an
output voltage which can be read by a voltmeter
EXAMPLE 2
 Tactile sensor is a device which receives and
responds to a signal or stimulus having to do
with force.
EXAMPLE 3
 Light sensor is a mechanical or electronic
apparatus that detects light.
EXAMPLE 4
 An air-fuel ratio meter monitors the air fuel
ratio of an internal combustion engines
EXAMPLE 5
 A manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) is one of
the sensors used in an internal combustion engine's
electronic control system.
EXAMPLE 6
A current sensor is a device that detects electrical current (AC or DC) in a wire, and generates a signal proportional
to it.
Thesensed current and the output signal can be:
AC current input
Dc current input
EXAMPLE 7
 A gas meter is used to measure the volume
of fuel gases such as natural
gases and propane.
 Gas meters are used at residential, commercial,
and industrial buildings that consume fuel gas
supplied by a gas utility
EXAMPLE 8
 A photodiode is a type of photodetector capable
of converting light into either current or voltages,
depending upon the mode of operation
EXAMPLE 9
 NDIR sensors are Spectroscopic sensors to detect
CO2 in a gaseous environment
FUNCTION
 Receives and responds to a signal
 Such as light ,pressure, temperature
SENSOR SENSITIVITY
 Indicates how much the sensor's output changes
when the measured quantity changes.
 For instance, if the mercury in a thermometer
moves 1 cm when the temperature changes by 1
°C, the sensitivity is 1 cm/°C
CLASSIFICATION OF MEASUREMENT ERRORS

 A good sensor obeys the following rules:

 Is sensitive to the measured property

 Is insensitive to any other property likely to be
encountered in its application
 Does not influence the measured property
BIOSENSOR

 A biosensor is an analytical device for the detection

of an analyte that combines a biological component
with a physicochemical detector component.
 It consists of 3 parts:
 the sensitive biological element (biological

material
 the transducer or the detector element

 associated electronics or signal processors that

are primarily responsible for the display of the

results in a user-friendly way
SENSOR IN NATURE
 All living organisms contain biological sensors
sensitive to:
 Light, motion, temperature
 Environmental molecules
 Internal metabolic milieu
 Internal signal molecules
