THE 'BLIND' METHOD OF DYNAMIC ERROR CORRECTION FOR THE SECOND ORDER SYSTEM

The paper presents results of simulation investigations of the measuring system, which enables measuring, with very small dynamic error, of rapidly changing signals using inexpensive transducers of not particularly good dynamic performance. Two methods for self-identification of the system sensor parameters are presented. The self-identification is performed using solely the measured signal at the system operating site. The system itself performs the correction of dynamic errors. Therefore the system shows small sensitivity to adverse influence of the operating conditions on the transducers dynamic properties. The investigations have been carried out for the second order, oscillatory and inertial transducers. The presented methods of correction can be applied to measuring of both: periodic and non-periodic signals. The simulation results, presented in a graphical form, illustrate the dependence of the correction effectiveness on the system selected parameters. Created programming tools make possible for testing the system in the neighbourhood of the selected operating point.

SPACE CHARGE INFLUENCE ON THE RESUTS OF VOLUME RESISTIVITY MEASUREMENTS IN SOLID DIELECTRICS

The problems associated with measurements and determination of volume resistivity were presented in the paper. Special attention was paid to the measurements carried out on extremely high resistivity materials. Space charge influence was discussed as the most important factor affecting the uncertainty of results of the resistivity measurements.

DYNAMIC WEIGHING SYSTEM OF RAILWAY CARRIAGES

The Dynamic Railway Diagnostics system (DRD) is a DSP-based measurement system, that analyses and stores the deformation signal of the rail caused by a passing train. The weight of the carriage is calculated by signal processing methods, by digital signal processors. This architecture makes the system capable of performing also other signal processing algorithms on this signal, e.g. faulty wheels can be detected. The DSP-based measurement method is a new approach in the field of in-motion weighing. This method can weigh and perform the diagnostics on trains travelling up to 160 km/h.

DIGITAL METHOD OF MEASUREMENT OF UNWANTED SIGNALS IN COMMUNICATION RECEIVERS

The software way of the estimation of the quantities the unwanted signals, on the basis of the digital data, at a communication receiver output has been presented. Advantages of the presented digital method in comparison with these recommended by the standard methods have been given. Thanks to the use of the separating operation of random and determined components in the digital stored measuring signal, the very low measurement errors of the estimated parameters have been achieved.

BINOMIAL FILTERING TO IMPROVE BACKSCATTERED LIDAR SIGNAL CONTENT

Binomial filter may be applied wherever easily predictable smoothing is required. That is possible in lidar signal processing. Digital filtering is a way of extracting noise from signal [1] beside poissonian averaging. Binomial filtering is useful in making data easier to interpret provided that proper perspective relative to measurement errors is maintained. Kaiser algorithm has been used to improve recovered data.

AUTOMATIC DISCRETIZATION IN PREPROCESSING FOR DATA ANALYSIS IN MOBILE NETWORK

Several data mining methods require discretization of the data, rough sets and association rules for example. In this paper we present simple discretization methods for two types of variables common in telecommunications network. The variables are first classified in order to apply the proper discretization method. These methods are based on the amplitude distribution of the variables. Methods are unsupervised, i.e. they do not require class information for the samples.

A METHOD TO DETECT SUDDEN CHANGES IN SIGNALS

Measurements may contain disturbances like transients or abrupt level changes. Although the duration of these effects is often short, the computed results derived from the measurements may be heavily corrupted. In order to be able to analyse only the non-disturbed region of the signal, the detection of anomalies is needed. In this paper we introduce a method for detecting sudden changes applying windowed moving variance computation technique.

A CONTACTLESS TWO-SENSOR DC TRANSDUCER – TRANSDUCTION FUNCTION ANALYSIS

In the paper the design and operation principle of a contactless two-sensor DC transducer is presented. The operation of the transducer makes use of the signal yielded by two fluxgate sensors based DC transducer situated at a certain distance from the wire traversed by the current to be measured. The proposed geometrical arrangement of the sensor makes the transduction accuracy less sensitive to inaccurate keeping the distance between the sensor and the wire flowed through by the current to be measured.
