Synopsis

The subject of this book is the recovery of signals from noise in electronic instrumentation. The term "electronic instrumentation" is sometimes reserved for instruments such as the oscilloscope and testmeter which are used to measure specifically electrical variables. It should therefore be made clear that the scope of the book goes much beyond this and covers instrumentation for the measurement of any variable, whether electrical or not. The term "electronic" simply implies that electronic techniques are used in the process of measurement. The term "noise" also requires clarification. Until recently, it was used mainly to refer to random fluctuations such as white and 1/F noise. Now, the term is used to refer to almost any kind of unwanted signal in an electronic system. It is in the broader sense that the term is used in the title, since the recovery of the required signal from many kinds of unwanted signal is covered. These comprise offset, drift, random noise comprising white and 1/F noise, and interference. The text is intended for anyone who is involved in the development of electronic instrumentation.

Review

..". this is an excellent book." Australian & New Zealand Physicist ..." written in a clear and concise style..." Journal of Sound & Vibration "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 his is an excellent book."
