Preface

Low-power smart sensor technology has been receiving greater interests among scientists, physicians and engineers in the recent years as new and promising developments have been made in both sensor fabrication and wireless telemetry. The realization of complex analytical systems including sensors is now feasible because of the high degree of miniaturization of many classic measurement techniques. The recent advancements in CMOS technology have led to further development of the highly complex integrated circuits with significantly reduced power dissipation. This has made possible the realization of intelligent sensors with wireless transmission capabilities. This new class of sensors is extensively contributing to a broad range of activities with applications in environmental monitoring, agriculture, food safety, space applications as well as in counter terrorism. The emergence of the telemedicine concept coupled with tremendous growth of the wireless sensor networks has opened up a new and innovative application of wireless sensor technology in medical as well as in healthcare field. This effort attempted to cover the broad range of topics related to sensors and sensor electronics. The book is aimed at the sensor research community as well as a text book for advanced graduate level courses in sensor technology. It is also intended to be a reference boo
