A system approach to electrical measurements

Abstract The essential idea of the system approach to electrical measurement is uniform treatment of measurement problems and/or instruments, which can be considered as special cases of a system whose functions are performed via signal processing. Recent achievements in the domains of digital signal processing, microelectronics, micro-machining and micro-optics enable one to improve the quality of measurements by means of sophisticated algorithms of signal processing implemented using VLSI technology and by means of microsensors. The integration and the design of measuring systems requires, in general, significant interdisciplinary contributions, and computerized design tools should generally be used for this purpose. Under such circumstances, this approach becomes particularly effective for understanding, designing and teaching measuring systems.
