signal conditioning
Signal conditioning is the process of manipulating a signal to make it suitable for further processing or analysis. This can involve amplifying weak signals, filtering out noise, or converting signals from one form to another, such as from analog to digital. The goal is to improve the quality and reliability of the data being measured or transmitted.
Common applications of signal conditioning are found in various fields, including electronics, telecommunications, and medical devices. By ensuring that signals are clean and accurate, signal conditioning plays a crucial role in systems like sensors and data acquisition systems, enabling better performance and more precise measurements.
