ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING [6 records]

Record 1 2010-12-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Telecommunications Transmission
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Electrical Measurements
  • Audiovisual Techniques and Equipment
DEF

Performing various operations on signals after they have been converted to digital form, as differentiated from analog signal processing.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Mesures électriques
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
CONT

Traitement numérique du signal [...] Traite numériquement la sonorité pour créer un environnement d'écoute tel que club de jazz, salle de danse ou salle de concert.

OBS

Ces termes sont tous fréquemment employés pour désigner cette notion car l'accent peut être mis sur le signal ou sur le traitement.

DEF

Procesamiento de señales de palabras reales en forma digital; es una categoría de técnicas aplicadas al análisis de formas de palabras reales y señales como la voz y las láminas.

OBS

Básicamente, el procesamiento de señales digitales convierte los objetos que van a ser analizados en formas dígitas (código binarios) empleando varios métodos matemáticos; una vez que la señal se ha reducido a números, sus componentes pueden ser aislados y analizados más fácilmente que en forma analógica.

Key term(s)

Miglia Technology is now shipping an A/D video converter. Director’s Cut ’Take 2’ converts analog video into the firewire codec so that VHS and Super-8 formats can now be downloaded to hard drives. The new device has improved hardware compression chips and components for reducing artifacts.

OBS

analog-to-digital converter(A/D)-A device which converts an analog voltage or current signal to a discrete series of digitally encoded numbers(signal) for computer processing.

Key term(s)
  • analog-to-digital video converter
  • A-D video converter
  • analogue to digital video converter

French

Domaine(s)
  • Électroacoustique
  • Audiovisuel (techniques et équipement)
OBS

Le signal vidéo contenu dans un DVD par exemple, est encodé et stocké en composantes vidéo (Y/Cr/Cb). Chacune de ces trois données est quantifiée en 8 bits. Le premier travail consiste à requantifier les données en 10 bits, [à] extraire le signal composite, Y/C (S-Vidéo) et RVB (suivant les modèles) et [à] le convertir en données analogiques exploitables par les matériels et ce en utilisant un convertisseur D/A 10 bits.

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Electroacústica
  • Técnicas y equipo audiovisuales
DEF

Convertidor ultrarrápido que permite obtener velocidades de conversión de 5 MHz e incluso mayores.

CONT

The main units of the AIC are : the focal plane assembly(FPA), equipped with a back-thinned illuminated CCD matrix and a front-end amplifier, provides the optical signal detection. A thermoelectric peltier cooler under the detector sets the operating point at-25°C ± 100 mK, the detection box(BD) which supplies the FPA with the necessary electrical signals to operate the CCD. It generates the clock waveforms from the VEU signals and filters the supplied voltage from the DSU, the video electronics unit(VEU) which processes the analog signal coming from the FPA, digitizes it on 12 bits before passing it on in serial processing to the science data processing subsystem(SDPSS). It also provides the DBs with the primary clock signal. The power conditioning of the VEU is located in the same unit, the detection supply unit(DSU) delivers relevant stabilized voltages to the 5 DUs and power to thermo-coolers from the main supply feeder of the instrument.

OBS

Converter sub-assembly.

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
CONT

From biology to silicon : An analog bio-inspired retina for an adaptive vision smart sensor. An image processing systems, the vision sensor is a phototransduction component. Its aim is to convert incident light into an electrical signal. Today, the development in microelectronic technology allows to integrate few transistors around the photosensitive element. This is the basic structure of the smart vision sensor which includes phototransduction and image processing in the focal plane array.
