Sensor Characteristics
Range Difference between the maximum and minimum value of the
sensed parameter
Resolution The smallest change the sensor can differentiate.
For digital sensors, it is related to number of bits used
For analog sensors, it is limited by low-level electrical noise
Sensitivity Ratio of change in output to a unit change of the input
For digital sensors, sensitivity is closely related to resolution
For analog sensors, sensitivity is the output slope vs. input line

Sensor Characteristics
Error
Difference between the measured value and the true value.
Two classifications: bias and random
Accuracy
Inversely proportional to the error
Sometimes related to the sensor’s linearity
Precision
Ability to reproduce repeatedly with a given accuracy
Sometimes called repeatability

Sensor Characteristics
Linearity Percentage of deviation from the best-fit linear calibration curve Linearity means superposition principle Most systems have nonlinear behavior
Impedance Ratio of voltage to current Two types: input and output impedance Input impedance
Measure of how much current must be drawn to power the sensors Modeled as resistor in parallel High input impedance is desirable
Output impedance Sensors ability to provide current to next stage Modeled as resistor is series with the sensor output Low output impedance is desirable
