FYS-2008 Measurement techniques - 10 stp
The course is administrated by
Institutt for fysikk og teknologi
Type of course
The course is available as a singular course. The course is also available to exchange students and Fulbright students.
Course overlap
FYS-290 Measurement techniques, general principles 9 stp
Course contents
The course focuses on the physical and technological understanding of measurement systems and techniques. The course covers the general structure of measuring systems including the following basic components contained in most designs: sensor elements, signal conditioning elements and signal processing elements. Besides the general structure and applications of measurement systems, the course includes theory for analyzing properties of static and dynamic setups. Statistical methods relevant for describing uncertainties (bias and fluctuations) in measurement systems are also covered. Exercises focused on design and evaluation of performance will be emphasized.
Application deadline
.Applicants from Nordic countries: 1 June for the autumn semester and 1 December for the spring semester.
Applicants from outside the Nordic countries: 1 October for the spring semester and 15 April for the autumn semester
