Industrial Instrumentation

Abstract

Filters are essential building blocks of instrumentation schemes; they serve a variety of purposes at different locations in the scheme: -

  • Band limiting and improving the signal to noise ratio

  • band limiting before sampling to minimize aliasing errors

  • picking out a frequency component or suppressing a selected frequency component from a signal

  • restricting the band of frequencies retained after modulation or demodulation
