THE USAGE OF THE APPROXIMATE METHODS TO DETERMINE THE UNCERTAINTY OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY MEASUREMENT USED TO INTEGRATED HUMIDITY SENSORS

Przemyslaw Otomanski
Abstract:
Results of experiments concerning humidity measurements have been presented in the paper. Integrated humidity sensors were used for the experiments, which transformed the value measured into a corresponding capacity. The structure of a measuring system was described, and the requirements concerning particular elements of the measuring track were defined. Using the regression method, an analytical equation was modeled, combining the output capacity value of the sensor with the examined humidity changes. With the use of experimental results as well as the least square method, the values for the above equation’s parameters were determined. The knowledge of coverage factor characteristics for the convolution of four selected probability distributions was used for the research.
