Previous articles in Planet Analog make mention of the “aliasing effect.” Most EEs agree in the importance of the aliasing effect as a noise source and take for granted that anti-aliasing filters are ...

Suppose you take a few measurements of a time-varying signal. Let’s say for concreteness that you have a microcontroller that reads some voltage 100 times per second. Collecting a bunch of data points ...

Housed in standard industrial enclosures, Signal Conditioning System (SCS) packages from Microstar Laboratories work with data-acquisition processor (DAP) boards inside networked PCs to eliminate all ...

Sampling a signal causes the original signal spectrum (blue) to create sum (purple) and difference (red) frequencies around the sampling frequency, fS. When the difference signals fall into the ...
