Course Description

The “Electronic Instruments and Measurements for Automation” course covers topics related to measurement and automation. Distributed measures will be explored, their architectures will be studied, highlighting advantages and disadvantages. Transducers, their applications and the main types of A/D converters will be analyzed, both fast and less accurate (flash) and slow and extremely accurate (sigma-delta). The importance of harmonic analysis will also be mentioned both from a mathematical point of view and from an applicative point of view related to electronic measuring instruments. In fact, the problems related to the correct way of sampling signals and the dangers that follow in case of incorrect sampling will be studied
