Designers face many chal lenges when placing thermal-sensing components in embedded systems. The first comes in choosing the temperature sensor. It is often not obvious whether a thermistor, resistive ...

Traditionally, resistance-temperature-detector (RTD) sensor resistance is measured by applying a precision current source and measuring the developed voltage. This approach usually requires a ...

There are several types of temperature sensors which can be used in a temperature system. The temperature sensor to use depends on the temperature range being measured and the accuracy required. Along ...

The Pharmaceutical Technologies group has recently acquired a fibre optic temperature sensor from INFAP GmbH (München, Germany). Until now, the calibration of the TVIS response (i.e. the peak ...
