Abstract

Facilitating self-calibration of a sensor device via modification of a sensitivity of the sensor device is presented herein. A sensor system can comprise a sensor component comprising a sensor that generates an output signal based on an external excitation of the sensor; a sensitivity modification component that modifies a sensitivity of the sensor by a defined amount; and a calibration component that measures a first output value of the output signal before a modification of the sensitivity by the defined amount, measures a second output value of the output signal after the modification of the sensitivity by the defined amount, and determines, based on a difference between the first output value and the second output value, an offset portion of the output signal. Further, the calibration component can modify, based on the offset portion, the output signal.
