Sensors, Circuits, and Systems for Scientific Instruments

Sensors, Circuits, and Systems for Scientific Instruments: Back-Ends and Applications, 1st Edition, by Soumyajit Mandal, offers systematic instruction on back-end architectures for experimental instrumentation. Published by Academic Press, this textbook presents theoretical and practical methods for processing signal outputs from physical sensors.

The initial technical sequence introduces digital signal processing principles alongside data converter architectures. Detailed chapters cover analog-to-digital conversion and digital-to-analog conversion, preparing readers to analyze low-amplitude data streams and characterize hardware behavior in instrument interfaces.

Subsequent sections focus on optimal filtering and signal detection theory to support systematic noise modeling. Targeted application chapters demonstrate these techniques across specialized platforms, including electrochemistry, biopotential monitoring, ultrasound measurements, and the detection of gravitational waves.
