Dynamic Measuring Systems

The present volume “Dynamic Measuring Systems,” which has been produced under the leadership of the internationally renowned metrologists Sascha Eichstaedt (Physikalisch-Technische Bundes-anstalt, Germany), is one of the first monographs in the DGSMS. The other planned volumes of the book series will be available within a period of 24 months after the publication of this volume.

Analysis and correct consideration of the time and frequency dependence of sensors and measurement processes is one of the fundamental tasks and scientific areas of metrology and practical measurement. Classical application areas of the theory of measurement dynamics are energy and communications engineering. In recent years, dynamic measurement systems have gained new importance; on the one hand, due to the modern calculation of measurement uncertainty and, on the other hand—very topically—the strongly networked digital measurement and information systems. Moreover, comparability between discrete and analogues sensors must be analyzed and evaluated. Without consideration and synchronization of the individual dynamic characteristics, the networked digital systems would not work successfully, and metrological traceability could hardly be derived.
