In active sensor we have voltage generation, or better things which resemble voltage generators, which are:

  • electrochemical (for chemical compound).
  • electromagnetic (this is for speed, essentially).
  • thermoelectric (for temperature).
  • charge generator, this have high internal impedance, to connect to what we have seen some less than ago, and this can be further divided in:
    • piezoelectric (for strain and stress).
    • electrochemical (for chemical compound), this is a chemical and chemical sensor. It sends some specific compound obviously not all.
    • optoelectronic, this uses the optical power.
