Relative humidity sensors: main elements composing the measuring chain (sensor, analog electronics, data acquisition, post-processing or signal analysis stage) to estimate . Analog electronic stages vary between different sensors since the output quantities are different. , , , are capacitance, resistance, wavelength, and light intensity changes caused by the RH, respectively. is the voltage output, is the current output. The capacitive sensors picture is adapted from [112]; the resistive sensors picture is from [113]; the nanocrystals and nanoparticles sensors image is from [114]; the fiber-optic humidity sensors picture is adapted from [115].
