In this paper the authors illustrate developments in sensor technology with a number of examples. From their own research they discuss radar, image processing and sensor networks. Radar performance is affected by propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves. Experience has shown that this may …

The creation of artifacts is one of the factors that make us human. Artifacts contribute to our continual adaptation to the world by permitting better knowledge and control of it. The focus of this chapter is on the role of one specific kind of artifact: sensors. In contrast to our immediate perception …
