Signal Conditioning Piezoelectric Sensors (Rev. A)

Piezoelectric elements are used to construct transducers for a vast number of different applications. Piezoelectric materials generate an electrical charge in response to mechanical movement or vice versa produce mechanical movement in response to electrical input.

This report discusses the basic concepts of piezoelectric transducers used as sensors and two circuits commonly used for signal conditioning their output.
