Sensor Systems

Abstract

In order to master daily life with his tasks, man must be able to influence the processes surrounding him, that is, he must be able to control them according to his goals. To make this possible, the current actual state must be recorded, the information from this must be evaluated, and the measures must be taken to achieve the goals. The elements that make it possible to record the measured variables of the environment are the sensors. They thus form the basis for all changes and developments in the natural or technical environment of human beings. Different effects in physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine enable a variety of sensors and applications. These are presented comprehensively in this work, but without claiming to be complete.
