Transducers: any device that converts one form of energy to another.

Binary numbers:
-

Computers store and transmit data using on/off sequences.


Base 2.
Each digit is called a bit.
Left most one is most significant bit (MSB) and the right-most bit is least
significant bit (LSB).
Group of bits is called a word.
Byte = 8 bit word.

High Frequency Noise:


-

Usually 3~30MHz.
The sources of system noise are found primarily in the electrical equipment we
use in our homes and businesses.
An operating electric motor, for example, will distort an otherwise smooth 60 Hz
waveform by adding to it tiny high frequency electrical signals or "noise." This
high frequency noise is almost always much smaller than the supply voltage (120
volts) and can only be detected with sensitive measurement equipment. Although
normally very small, high frequency noise can cause problems for some electronic
equipment.
A good example of this phenomena is the "snow" that you see on your television
when someone nearby operates an electric hair dryer or a vacuum cleaner. These
devices put noise on the building wiring system, and the television, operated from
the same wiring, is adversely affected by the noise.
High frequency signals from television and radio stations can also radiate into
your wiring because your wiring can act as an inefficient antennae.

Sampling Rate:
-

Sampling interval is the time between successive samples: the sampling rate is thus the
inverse of the sampling interval.

Sensitivity:
- Sensitivity analysis is the study of how the uncertainty in the output of a
mathematical model or system (numerical or otherwise) can be apportioned to
different sources of uncertainty in its inputs.
Low Pass Filter
- A low-pass filter is a filter that passes low frequency signals and attenuates
(reduces the amplitude of) signals with frequencies higher than the cutoff
frequency.
Transient Signal:
Signals which last for a very short period of time are referred to as TRANSIENT
Signals.

Examples: Switch bounce, Shock wave generated from an impact test, Seismic
Signals.
