Sensors Characteristics

Abstract

A comprehensive overview of static and dynamic parameters that are used in sensing systems was presented in this chapter. The most important static characteristics including accuracy, precision, repeat- ability, reproducibility, stability, error, noise, drift, resolution, MDS, calibration curve, sensitivity, linearity, selectivity, hysteresis, measurement range, as well as response and recovery time were described. Dynamic characteristics of sensing systems were then presented. Differential equations that describe such systems were discussed with the emphasis of zero-, first-, and second-order systems.
