Static calibration of transducers using Gauss-function-based approximation

The problem of static calibration of measurement channels is considered under an assumption that the raw result of measurement depends both on a scalar measurand and on a scalar influence quantity. The methodology of calibration based on the Gauss-function approximation is developed and examined using synthetic data representing a measurement channel with a fiber-optic sensor. Various algorithms of calibration are compared; the accuracy of measurements, based on the results of calibration, is used as the main criterion of comparison. Some recommendations are formulated, concerning the applicability of the compared algorithms of calibration.
