After successful completion of the course, students are able to understand the underlying problems in the recording of the respective measurand and the solution approaches involved in the most diverse and quite complementary areas of sensor technology. Furthermore, they will understand the basics of microfluidics.
After completing the exercise, students will be able to work with a lock-in amplifier, understand various electrical noise mechanisms, and optimize the anti theft system.
