6 Fundamentals of Sensors for Engineering and Science
1.4 Characteristics
The characteristics of a sensor can include those related to the sensor’s input
and output, which are the sensor’s
operational bandwidth,
magnitude and frequency response over that bandwidth,
sensitivity,
accuracy,
resolution,
response time,
recovery time, and
output type.
All of these, except for the last, relate to how well the sensor responds to
a stimulus. These response characteristics are described in further detail in
Chapter 4 of [3].
Further, there are characteristics that describe the sensor as a component
of a measurement system. These are sensor
selectivity; ...
