Signal conditioning, analog-to-digital conversion(, digital-to-analog conversion)

Converting an electrical signal between the analog and digital domains in data acquisition requires appropriate conditioning. This module will detail the steps required for such signal conditioning prior to analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), e.g. amplifiers, trade filters, anti-aliasing filters, etc. A second part of the module will give a more in-depth look at analog-to-digital converters, with the advantages and disadvantages of the different options studied. A brief introduction to the digital-to-analog converter may also form part of the module. The examples and applications studied during the module will mainly concern biomedical and healthcare systems.

Converting an electrical signal between the analog and the digital domains in the context of data acquisition requires proper conditioning. This module will detail the required stages for such signal conditioning before an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC), e.g. amplifiers, application-specific filters, anti-aliasing filters, etc. A second part of the module will give a more in-depth overview of analog-to-digital converters, with the pros and cons of the different studied options. A brief introduction of digital-to-analog converter may also be part of the module. The examples and application cases studied during the module will mainly relate to biomedical and healthcare systems.
