Method and sensor system with integrated calibration mechanism

Abstract:

A system generating an electrical signal based on at least one physical quantity, includes sensor units each generating an individual electrical signal in response to the at least one physical quantity, a selecting unit selecting a first number of sensor units from the sensor units and outputting a first combined electrical signal based on the first number of sensor units, and a calibrating unit determining a second number of sensor units to be selected based on the first combined electrical signal.
