There are different methods to measure current. One method is to use a resistor across a current output and measure the voltage. The voltage across the resistor is measured using ohm's law: where I is ...

In the first article about measurement systems we looked at sensors as a way to bring data into a measurement system. I explained that a sensor measures physical quantities which are turned into a ...

Signal integrity is the primary measure of signal quality. Its importance increases with higher signal speed, oscilloscope bandwidth, the need to view small signals, or the need to see small changes ...

Noise from the power supply, linear regulators, and voltage references is a major contributor to the limitations of system performance, especially in instrumentation and communications products. In ...

A newly drafted IEEE standard will bring more consistency to defect metrics in analog/mixed (AMS) designs, a long-overdue step that has become too difficult to ignore in the costly heterogeneous ...

Signal chains for measurement of analog quantities typically pose the toughest design challenges for engineers. Even a simple signal chain with a resistive sensor and an analog-to-digital data ...

The deployment of smart grid and the availability of residential smart meters is essential to change consumers’ behavior for reducing the overall energy consumption and carbon emissions. In the coming ...

This may be a simple question, but I thought I'd check in here to be certain. Right now I have analog cable at home, so no digital set top box from the cable company. The line is uncapped, so I get ...
