This book introduces techniques which are suitable for the design and calibration of integrated smart sensors. In seven chapters it explains how to include a digitally programmable calibration feature into an integrated smart sensor.

After an introductory chapter, chapter 2 discusses the Integrated Smart Sensor Concept. The following four chapters, which for the majority of the book, address a number of different calibration techniques. These include linearization, analogue signal processing, Sigma-Delta analogue-to-digital conversion and digital signal processing (DSP). Each chapter contains a brief introduction, discussion of the main theme, conclusions and references. The final chapter of the book gives a summary and conclusions.

Overall, Integrated Smart Sensors: Design and Calibration is a useful and well written text covering the concepts and methodologies on integrated smart sensor design. It is suitable for students, researchers and professional design engineers.
