Integrierte Sensorsysteme umfassen neben dem eigentlichen Sensor zunehmend auch lokale Intelligenz zur Signalverarbeitung und Kommunikation. Der Entwurf derartiger Systeme erfordert interdisziplinäre Kooperation unterschiedlicher Fachrichtungen. Dieser Beitrag stellt das Konzept integrierter Sensorsysteme vor, beleuchtet verschiedene Aspekte der Integration und zeigt anhand eines konkreten Beispiels aus der Strömungsmesstechnik ihre praktische Umsetzung.
Apart from the sensor front-end, integrated sensor systems comprise also local intelligent controllers allowing for signal processing and communication. The design of such systems requires multidisciplinary cooperation. This article presents the concept of integrated sensor systems, sheds light on various integration aspects and highlights their practical implementation by means of a concrete example from flow measurement.
