Anduritüüpe

Anduritüüpe is a broad term encompassing various categories of sensors used to detect and measure physical phenomena. These sensors translate real-world conditions into electrical signals that can be processed by electronic systems. The classification of anduritüüpe can be based on several criteria, including the physical quantity they measure, their operating principle, or their output signal.

Common categories of anduritüüpe include temperature sensors, which measure heat, and pressure sensors, which detect force applied over an area. Light sensors, such as photodiodes and photoresistors, are used to detect and quantify light intensity. Motion sensors, like passive infrared (PIR) sensors and accelerometers, are employed to detect movement. Environmental sensors, a diverse group, can include those that measure humidity, gas concentration, or air quality.

The operating principle also differentiates anduritüüpe. Resistive sensors change their electrical resistance in response to a stimulus, while capacitive sensors alter their capacitance. Inductive sensors rely on changes in magnetic fields, and piezoelectric sensors generate a voltage when subjected to mechanical stress.

Output signal types further categorize anduritüüpe. Analog sensors produce a continuously varying output signal, whereas digital sensors provide discrete values. The specific application dictates the most suitable type of anduritüüpe, influencing factors like accuracy, response time, and cost.
