After successful completion of the course, students are able to explain acoustic sensors, to describe human perception and simple acoustic basics, to summarise technological applications of acoustic sensors, to present the importance of wireless sensors in connection with department store theft protection, to explicate Ion sensors and DNA sequencing with field effect transistors as well as to analyse microfluidics from the single component to the system.
Lecture part:
1. Introduction
2. Ion sensors and DNA sequencing with field effect transistors
3. Acoustic sensors
3.1.Human perception
3.2.Simple acoustic basics
3.3.Macroscopic and miniaturized microphones
3.4.Microphone arrays, acoustic camera
4. Wireless sensors
Introduction to the basic principles, department store theft protection
5. Microfluidics
From the single component (e.g., mixers, valves, ...) to the system (Lab on Chip)
Laboratory part (belongs to the advanced lecture for embedded systems, but can be taken out of competition, if interested):
1. Anti theft system
2. Lock-in amplifier
Due to the current requirements of the government and the Vienna University of Technology, it is not possible to hold this lecture and its exams in class, so - as in the winter semester - we will switch to distance learning. The lecture will be held via Zoom, details can be found in the corresponding TUWEL course.
If interested, students can also take part in the lab exercise of 366.014 (Sensors and Microsystems Technology, Deepening, 2 dates = 1 day).
Appointment directly at the lecture.
Oral online examination via Zoom (appointment can be usually fixed at short notice (except vacations), link will then be sent.
Hardware: Typical laptop suitable for Skype or Zoom with adequate internet connection is sufficient.
