Signal processing is considered as demand operation to increase the quality of signals in term of reduced noise and reduce interference with other signals can be carried out in a continuous (analog) or discrete (digital). In the analog domain, electronic signal processing can contain such operations as amplification, filtering, integration, differentiation, modulation/demodulation, peak detection, and analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion. A/D conversion at 8-bit is employed in use where the data transferring is more request that precision, whereas precision application can use as many as 16 or 20 bits. For many conversions, a 12-bit ADC solution is a satisfactory compromise, with a precision of 1 part in 4095, or 0.02%. Digital signal processing …show more content…

Fourier transform (FT), Hadamard transform (HT), and wavelength transform (WT)). In all cases, the aim is to separate the useful part of the signal from the part that contains no useful information (the noise) using either explicit or implicit models that distinguish these two sources. Signal processing refers to a multiplicity of operations that may be carried out in a continuous or discrete sequence of collected measurements in order to enhance the quality of signals that we intended to convey. A second important influence was the appearance of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and the computers that drove …show more content…

Finally, there was the parallel development of competent digital signal processing algorithms, such as the Savitzky–Golay (SG). Implementation of polynomial least-squares filters and the Cooley–Tukey algorithm for the fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Such algorithms made the practical implementation of signal processing methods a reality although first-order instruments are still the mainstay of analytical chemistry, second-order instruments which provide a matrix of data, such as chromatography with multichannel detection and tandem mass spectrometers, are now routinely employed, and higher-order instruments are commonplace. These, combined with ever more powerful computational platforms, have advanced modern signal processing to yet another level. Throughout this article, the term ‘signal’ will be used to refer to either a continuous or discrete measurement sequence, which consists of a pure or undistorted signal corrupted by noise. As effectively all instrumental methods involve a sharp form of electrical transduction of a reproducible phenomenon into a continuous signal, analog signal processing is as universal as it is
