Measurement Systems

The subject is focused on the analysis and synthesis of a complex measurement system in terms of its properties as a special cybernetic system of transmitting and processing signal with certain information. It presents general and special criteria of its quality in the time and frequency domain as well as information theory. There are basic definitions and information on the requirements of the measurement system, the distribution of measurement systems and the description of the individual stages of its design and implementation. Students are acquainted with problems of obtaining and transmitting information in the measurement system, with problems of random process and analysis of this process in time and frequency domain. In addition, the individual steps in the design of the measurement system are explained in detail with regard to the detailed description of each component, especially its properties and the way of use. The subject is also focused on modern trends in the synthesis of measurement systems in connection with the development in Industry 4.0 and IoT. Students are familiar with this issue and they are practically demonstrated by selected HW components forming an IoT based measurement system. There are also demonstrated wireless technologies used in IoT such as Lora, SigFox, IQRF. Last but not least, the students are acquainted with the possibilities of archiving of measured data, their processing and visualization through the selected SW system. Finally, the basic concepts of electromagnetic compatibility with focus on the development and implementation of the measurement system, especially on the area of ​​measurement and analysis of disturbing signals, are explained.
