Overview

Covering all aspects of the subject, Signal Recovery from Noise in Electronic Instrumentation, Second Edition examines the interference involved with instruments that employ electronic techniques to measure physical quantities, including random fluctuations from thermal or background sources and systematic signal drift or offset. In the case of random noise, the book fully analyzes 1/f as well as white noise. It also discusses the theory and practice of baseline correction, low-pass filtering, multiple time averaging, and phase-sensitive detection. The author explores the best way of measuring the amplitude or the time of occurrence of a signal of known shape. New to this edition are an additional chapter, frequency measurement, and tutorial questions with answers to test understanding of the subject matter. This book will be indispensable to advanced electronics undergraduates, nonspecialist postgraduates using electronic instrumentation, and applied scientists.

"""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."" -Current Engineering Practice ""… this is an excellent book."" -Australian & New Zealand Physicist ""… written in a clear and concise style …"" -Journal of Sound & Vibration"
