Explore signal conditioning circuits for temperature measurements, examining RTD and thermocouple sensing, along with thermistors, infrared sensors, and semiconductor-based sensors, their principles, pros and applications.
Learn RTD based temperature sensing with platinum 100, using a Wheatstone bridge and amplifiers for 0-4 V to 1-5 V and 4-20 mA transmitter outputs.
Welcome to "Instrumentation System Design"—a comprehensive course designed to bridge the gap between theory and practical application in modern instrumentation engineering.
In this course, you'll explore how to design, develop, and analyze complete instrumentation systems, starting from sensor selection to signal conditioning, data acquisition, and system integration. Whether you're an undergraduate student, a postgraduate researcher, or a working professional, this course equips you with the core knowledge and hands-on design skills needed to work with real-world measurement and control systems across industrial, biomedical, and automation domains.
Who Should Enroll:
Engineering students (Electronics, Instrumentation, Biomedical, Mechatronics, Electrical, etc.)
Educators and researchers seeking structured content for practical instrumentation
Professionals working in embedded systems, automation, or medical device design
Anyone curious to learn how physical measurements are transformed into meaningful digital data
What You Will Learn:
The principles and stages of an instrumentation system
Sensor selection and specification for different physical parameters
Design of signal conditioning circuits: amplification, filtering, isolation
Understanding of process parameters
Analog and digital signal processing basics
Calibration, accuracy, linearity, hysteresis, and error reduction techniques
Identification of design constraints in real time process measurements
By the end of this course, you'll not only understand how instrumentation systems function—but you'll also be able to design your own systems from scratch, analyze their performance, and optimize them for real-world scenarios.
