Changes
• The characteristic of any device or material to detect the presence of a particular physical
quantity
• Performs some function of input by sensing or feeling the physical changes in the characteristic
of a system in response to stimuli
• Active sensors: Require an external source of power (excitation voltage) that provides
the majority of the output power of the signal
• Passive sensors: The output power is almost entirely provided by the measured signal
without an excitation voltage
• Digital sensors: The signal produced or reflected by the sensor is binary
• Analog sensors: The signal produced by the sensor is continuous and proportional to the
measured
2 A Transducers
• a. reduce the flow of current in a circuit
• b. convert energy of one kind into another
• c. increase the speed of a motor
• d. convert a sensor to actuator
Type of Sensor
• The resolution of a sensor is the smallest change it can detect in the quantity that it is measuring.
• The resolution of a sensor with a digital output is usually the smallest resolution the digital output it
can process.
• The higher the resolution of a sensor, the more accurate its precision.
• It is only sensitive to the measured property (e.g., A temperature sensor senses the ambient temperature of a
room.)
• It is insensitive to any other property likely to be encountered in its application (e.g., A temperature sensor
does not bother about light or pressure while sensing the temperature.)
• It does not influence the measured property (e.g., measuring the temperature does not reduce or increase the
• temperature).
• Analog Sensors produce a continuous output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to the
quantity being measured.
• Physical quantities such as Temperature, Speed, Pressure, Displacement, Strain etc. are all analog
quantities as they tend to be continuous in nature.
• For example, the temperature of a liquid can be measured using a thermometer or thermocouple
(e.g. in geysers) which continuously responds to temperature changes as the liquid is heated up or
cooled down.
• Digital Sensors produce discrete digital output signals or voltages that are a digital representation of the quantity being
measured.
• Digital sensors produce a binary output signal in the form of a logic "1" or a logic "0", ("ON" or "OFF").
• Digital signal only produces discrete (non-continuous) values, which may be output as a single "bit" (serial
transmission), or by combining the bits to produce a single "byte" output (parallel transmission).
• Scalar Sensors produce output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to the magnitude of the quantity
being measured.
• Physical quantities such as temperature, color, pressure, strain, etc. , are all scalar quantities, as only their
magnitude is sufficient to convey information.
• For example, the temperature of a room can be measured using a thermometer or thermocouple, which responds
to temperature changes irrespective of the orientation of the sensor or its direction.
• Vector Sensors produce output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to the magnitude, direction, as well
as the orientation of the quantity being measured.
• Physical quantities such as sound, image, velocity, acceleration, orientation, etc. are all vector quantities, as only their
magnitude is not sufficient to convey the complete information.
• For example, the acceleration of a body can be measured using an accelerometer, which gives the components of
acceleration of the body with respect to the x,y,z coordinate axes.
