Electrical Instrumentation
Electrical instrumentation is the process of acquiring data about one or more physical quantities of interest using electrical sensors and instruments.
This data may be used for diagnostics, analysis, design, or to control a system.

Typical Instrumentation System
Sensor Amplifier A/D Converter
Computer
• Sensor - converts the measured value into an electrically useful value (a transducer)
• Amplifier - “conditions” the signal from the sensor• A/D Converter - changes the signal into a digital
format• Computer - processes, displays, and records the
signal
![Page 9: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
lecture16 9
Sensor
• The output of a sensor (transducer) is proportional to the quantity of interest.
• The sensor output may be a
– voltage or current (temperature, pressure)
– resistance (strain gauge)– frequency (accelerometer)
![Page 10: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
lecture16 10
Amplifier
• The output of the amplifier is (usually) a voltage.
• The gain of the amplifier is set so that the voltage falls between lower and upper limits (for example, -10V to 10V).
![Page 11: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
lecture16 11
A/D Converter
• Analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion consists of two operations:
– Sampling: measuring the voltage signal at equally spaced points in time.
– Quantization: approximating a voltage using 8, 12 or 16 bits.
![Page 12: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

lecture16 14
Sources of Noise
• Thermal noise caused by the random motion of charged particles in the sensor and the amplifier.
• Electromagnetic noise from electrical equipment (e.g., computers) or communication devices.
• Shot noise from quantum mechanical events.
![Page 15: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
lecture16 15
Effects of Noise
• Reduces accuracy and repeatability of measurements.
• Introduces distortion in sound signals.
• Introduces errors in control systems.

lecture16 16
What to Do?
How can we eliminate or reduce the undesirable effects of noise?
• Grounding/shielding electrical connections
• Filtering (smoothing)
• Averaging several measurements
![Page 17: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Signal Bandwidth
Conceptually, bandwidth (BW) is related to the rate at which a signal changes:
High BW Low BW
![Page 18: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
lecture16 18
Bandwidth and Sampling
A higher bandwidth requires more samples/second:
High BW Low BW
![Page 19: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
lecture16 19
Bandwidth Limitations
Every component in the instrumentation system has bandwidth limitations:
• Sensors do not respond immediately to changes in the environment.
• The amplifier output does not change immediately in response to changes in the input.
• The A/D converter sampling rate is limited.

Amplifier Characteristics
Amplifiers are characterized in terms of attributes such as:
• Gain
• Bandwidth and/or frequency response
• Linearity
• Harmonic distortion
• Input and output impedance
![Page 22: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
lecture16 22
Op Amps
• One commonly used type of amplifier is the Operational Amplifier (Op Amp).
• Op Amps have differential inputs: output voltage is the amplified difference of two input voltages.
• Op Amps have very large gains (>103).
![Page 23: Lecture161 Instrumentation Prof. Phillips March 14, 2003](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d4f5503460f94a2eaab/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
lecture16 23
Op Amps (cont.)
• Most op-amp circuits use negative feedback
• Op-amp circuits can be designed to:
– Provide voltage gain or attenuation.
– Convert current to voltage.
– Integrate or differentiate.
– Filter out noise or interference.

Often, sensors measure quantities associated with systems. The sensor output is used to control the system in a desired manner.

Example: Industrial Process Control
• In many manufacturing processes (integrated circuits, for example) temperatures must be closely controlled.
• Feedback can be used to maintain a constant temperature.

temperature at the desired (setpoint) value.

Benefits of Feedback
• Provides stability with respect to changes in system parameter values.
• Helps to obtain a (nearly) linear response from non-linear components.
• Can be used to change the characteristics of a system under control.
