Sensors, Circuits, and Systems for Scientific Instruments: Fundamentals and Front-Ends presents a unified treatment of modern measurement systems by integrating relevant knowledge in sensors, circuits, signal processing, and machine learning. It also presents detailed case studies of several real-life measurement systems to illustrate how theoretical analysis and high-level designs are translated into working scientific instruments.The book is meant for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, applied physics, and biomedical engineering. It is designed to fill a gap in the market between books focused on specific components of measurement systems (semiconductor devices, analog circuits, digital signal processing, etc.) and books that provide a high-level "survey" or "handbook"-type overview of a wide range of sensors and measurement systems.

Develops a unified treatment of modern scientific instruments by combining knowledge of high-performance sensors, semiconductor devices, circuits, signal processing, and embedded computingFocuses on fundamental concepts in precision sensing and interface circuitry (accuracy, precision, linearity, noise, etc.) and their impact on system-level performance instead of presenting a "laundry list" of sensor typesIntroduces readers to the indispensable role of signal detection theory, pattern recognition, and machine learning for modern scientific instrumentationPresents multiple case studies and examples to demonstrate how theoretical concepts are translated into real-life measurement systems

Sensors, Circuits, and Systems for Scientific Instruments: Back-Ends and Applications delves into the advanced world of sensors and circuits tailored for precision measurements. This text builds on foundational concepts from prior studies and focuses on the sophisticated processes in the later stages of measurement. From data converters to digital signal processing, and parameter estimation to machine learning, this volume provides students with critical insights into testing, verification, and system integration through practical case studies involving various scientific instruments.Designed for senior undergraduates and entry-level graduate students in electrical and computer engineering, applied physics, and biomedical engineering, this book bridges a gap between component-focused texts and broad surveys, offering a thorough understanding of back-end systems and applications.Develops a unified treatment of modern scientific instruments by combining knowledge of high-performance sensors, semiconductor devices, circuits, signal processing, and embedded computingFocuses on fundamental concepts in precision sensing and interface circuitry (accuracy, precision, linearity, noise, etc.) and their impact on system-level performanceIntroduces readers to the indispensable role of signal detection theory, pattern recognition, and machine learning for modern scientific instrumentationPresents multiple case studies and examples to demonstrate how theoretical concepts are translated into real-life measurement systems

This book describes a new, extremely low frequency (ELF)/ very low frequency (VLF) miniaturized transmitter concept, based on the mechanical motion of permanent magnets or electrets.

Finally, the issues involved in integrating these components within a working system are highlighted by presenting the architecture, design, and test results of two fully functional low-field MRI scanners that were designed and developed by the authors.
