Piezoelectric transducers are used as electromechanical resonators. Quartz resonator sensors are well known from their use as time bases for frequency control. The chapter summarizes properties of ...
Both sensors measure rate of change; they just measure the rate of change for different things. In practice, that means that an accelerometer will measure the directional movement of a device but ...
Sensors are devices that detect and quantify physical aspects of the world around us. The measurement can either be read directly or converted to a signal for processing by electrical, hydraulic ...
