The problem of minimizing the destabilizing factors distorting the informative signal of thin-film tensoresistive pressure sensors (TRPS) is discussed, in particular, the effects of temperature and vibroacceleration. The system methodology is offered as an effective tool for such sensors improvement. Its application bedrock is the representation of TRPS as a system consisting of several interacting subsystems. Additional subsystems with desirable characteristics are introduced into the TRPS structure to minimize the effect of destabilizing factors.
