Signal Recovery from Noise in Electronic Instrumentation

ISBN-13: 9781138422421 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017

T. H. Wilmshurst

Opis

Examines the interference involved with instruments that employ electronic techniques to measure physical quantities, including random fluctuations from thermal sources and systematic signal drift. This book analyzes 1/f as well as white noise. It discusses baseline correction, multiple time averaging, and phase-sensitive detection.

Recenzje

"Answering a genuine need, Wilmshurst's book is the single most illuminating contribution to and understanding of the range of techniques for efficient signal recovery from electronic noise. It stands apart from the other books and articles by virtue of the originality, clarity, and systematic exposition of every aspect of enhancing an electrical signal. It is an exceptional achievement, written in an outstandingly refreshing manner that should alter the ways in which electronic instrumentation is understood and taught at advanced undergraduate or graduate level and beyond. In short, anyone wanting the ins and outs of signal retrieval should get a copy."
