A sensor is often defined as ~
a device that receives and responds to a signal or stimulus.

Before we begin, here’s a super quick overview about THE black box…
THE Black Box!!!
• Resistors– Ohm’s Law– Resistor in parallel / series– Voltage divider– Wheatstone bridge
• Capacitors– Gauss’s Law– Capacitor in parallel / series
• Inductors
• Diodes– Zener diodes
• Transistors• Op Amps
– Ideal model– Comparator / Schmidt trigger– Voltage follower– Non-inverting Amp / Inverting Amp– Summing / Differential Amplifier
• and more!
Passive component:Capable of operating without an external power.Ex. Resistors, capacitors, inductors..etc
Active component:Requiring a source of power to operateEx. Transistors, Op-Amps, ICs.

Back to input devices…. All sensors may be of two kinds:
1. passive (directly generates electric signal) – piezo, photodiode…
2. active (need to apply external stimulus) – thermistor, strain gauge
Things that you want to know before deciding which sensor to use - what “phenomena” you are interested in and what is the “range” of the signal. Does the signal need “conditioning*” or “amplification**”??

Simple strain gauge
Strain Gauges – measuring the strain of an objectneed to be bonded onto a hard surface, so they can be forced into strain when the surface is deflected. Soft materials won’t strain the gauge enough

Remote Sensing
• the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, without making physical contact with the object.
• Again, passive and active.
• Examples of passive remote sensors include film photography, infrared, charge-coupled devices, and radiometers.
• Active collection, on the other hand, emits energy in order to scan objects and areas whereupon a sensor then detects and measures the radiation that is reflected or backscattered from the target. RADAR and LiDAR are examples of active remote sensing where the time delay between emission and return is measured, establishing the location, height, speed and direction of an object.

Light Detectors
• CdS (Cadmium Sulfide) and CdSe (Cadmium Selenide) cells are common
http://media.digikey.com/photos/Advanced%20Photonix%20Photos/PDV-P9203.jpg
CdS tends to like Yellow...Photons knock electrons into conduction band. 1 photon can release 900 electrons Acceptor band keeps electron lifetime high -> Lower Resistance with increasing light. Slow response...
Other photon sensors such as-photodiodes-phototransistor-Photodiode ICs and color sensors (IC)-See optical sensing note from MAS836

Non-contact Capacitive Sensing
• User must contact transmitter• User uniquely tagged• Can use multiple frequencies; multiple users• 2-object geometry => Best for accurate tracking• Industrial (short range) proximity
• No contact with electrode• 3-object geometry => Hard to do tracking• Can “focus” w. tomograpy => Add more transceivers
Loading Mode (measure I )t
• Single Electrode• No cable to electrode• Couples to everything• Hard to adjust sens. area• Used for everything - Stud finders (pre MIR) Theremins, buttons...

Gait Analysis
Different signatures typically detected with the passive capacitive sensing method. (a) Forefoot strike, (b) heel strike pattern (left feet), (c) and (d) mid-swing between steps(right feet), detected by adjacent electrodes. The decay time is from the RC response of the envelope detector.

Cellular signals versus localization and identification
13.56MHz NFC square loop antenna
900/1800MHz ¼ wavelength GSM antenna
Cutouts on the electrode eliminate Eddy currents that would decrease performance.
• The pattern and signal strength of NFC are consistent and can easily be used to determine range by measuring peak thresholds. • GSM signals have stronger signal response that can infer longer distance tracking by integrating and averaging the signal patterns.
