One of the major factors that effect sensor performance is analog noise that added in a sensor signal such as voltage. In multi-axis force sensors, error sources may be classified mainly in two groups. One is structural error due to inaccuracy of sensor body. The other error source is noise signals existing in the sensed information. This paper presents a brief review about the principle of multi-axis force sensors, and then proposes a method that can reduce the effect of noise signal to sensor performance. The method is to convert analog voltage signal to digital numbers near sensor body and then to read these digital signals and conduct signal processing in the computer. By this way, we can eliminate a bad effect of electromagnetic wave emitted from computer and of 60 Hz noise emitted from AC source. The proposed method is investigated through experimental demonstration. The experimental results show that it improves S/N ratio of the sensor about 40 times in our experimental setup.

센서네트워크에서 신호처리를 수행하는 경우 노이즈 감쇄문제는 우선적으로 해결되어야 할 과제이다. 센서노드가 수집한 데이터에 포함된 노이즈가 센서네트워크의 신호처리 결과에 악영향을 미치는 것은 자명하다. 본 논문에서는 무선센서네트워크에서 사용할 수 있는 노이즈 감쇄 필터를 제안한다. 제안된 필터는 센서노드간의 상대적인 거리정보만을 사용하여 동작하며 구성이 단순하며 구현도 쉽다. 또한 센서노드의 통신반경을 적절한 범위에서 조정하여 전력소모를 줄이고 전체 네트워크의 수명을 연장할 수 있다. 다양한 조건에 대하여 성능평가를 수행하여 제안된 필터가 수집된 데이터에 대한 노이즈 영향을 감소시키는 것을 확인 하였다.

능동소음제어는 원치 않는 소음에 대하여 2차 소음으로 상쇄 간섭을 발생시켜 소음을 제거하는 방법이다. 일반적으로 능동소음제어기의 성능은 2차 소음이 주 소음을 얼마나 잘 추정하는가에 따라 결정된다. 2차 소음은 스피커를 통해 발생되며 마이크를 통해 오차 신호를 수음한다. 일반적으로 스피커와 마이크의 전달특성은 이상적이지 못하기 때문에 신호를 왜곡시켜 능동소음제어기의 성능이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 스피커와 마이크의 전달특성을 고려한 단일센서 능동소음제어기를 제안한다. 스피커와 마이크의 전달특성에 의한 2차 소음의 왜곡을 줄이기 위하여 적응 역모델링 기법으로 전달 특성을 추정하고 주 소음은 Kalman필터를 이용하여 추정한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 단일센서 능동소음제어기가 효과적으로 소음을 감쇠시킴을 보인다.

In fiber optic sensor, the error of the measurement is influenced by the surface roughness of the target and surroundings, especially the outside light. To reduce or modify this error, the sensitivity of the fiber optic sensor and the noise change by the surface roughness of the target should be known. The purpose of this paper is to observe the sensitivity of the fiber optic sensor and the noise according to the surface roughness of the target.

In wireless sensor network (WSN) environments, environmental noises are generated by, for example, small passing animals, crickets chirping or foliage blowing and will interfere target detection if the noises are higher than the sensor threshold value. For accurate tracking by acoustic WSNs, these environmental noises should be filtered out before initiating track. This paper presents the effect of environmental noises on target tracking and proposes a new algorithm for the noise mitigation in acoustic WSNs. We find that our noise mitigation algorithm works well even for targets with sensing range shorter than the sensor separation as well as with longer sensing ranges. It is also found that noise duration at each sensor affects the performance of the algorithm. A detection algorithm is also presented to account for the Doppler effect which is an important consideration for tracking higher-speed ground targets. For tracking, we use the weighted sensor position centroid to represent the target position measurement and use the Kalman filter (KF) for tracking.

Optimal design of disk shaped piezoelectric actuator and sensor mounted on the plate structure is studied for the control of noise radiated fro the structure. The sensor signal is returned to the actuator through negative gain. Finite element modelling is used for the plate structure and the disk shaped piezoelectric sensor and actuator. The objective function is the total radiated sound power and the design variables are the locations and sizes of the piezoelectric actuator and sensor. The optimal is performed at the resonance and the off resonance frequency and the results show good noise reduction.

3-Axis sensor measurement system is needed for measuring ride quality of elevator. But because 3-Axis piezoelectric accelerometer is expensive. We developed 3-Axis sensor system which is suitable for measuring ride quality of elevator using cheap MEMS sensor. There are two types of MEMS sensor that are piezoresistive and capacitive type. The excellence of piezoresistive type in characteristic of frequency response and noise is confirmed compare to capacitive type as a result of this paper's experiment and reference. 3-Axis system using MEMS sensor needs MEMS's proper frequency response characteristic. Additionally noise characteristic of sensor and circuit, stiffness of assembly are needed for deciding frequency range and accuracy of amplitude.

Wireless sensor networks represent a new and exciting communication paradigm which could have multiple applications in future wireless communication. Therefore, performance analysis of such a wireless sensor network paradigm is needed in complex wireless channel. Wireless networks could be an important means of providing ubiquitous communication in the future. In this paper, the BER performance of uniform distributed wireless sensor networks is evaluated in non-Gaussian noise channel. Using an analytical approach, the impact of Av. BER performance relating the coherent BPSK system at the end of a multi-hop route versus the spatial density of sensor nodes and impulsive noise parameters A and $\Gamma$ is evaluated.

Performance of a force-torque sensor is affected significantly by an error signal that is included in the sensor signal. The error sources may be classified mainly into two categories: one is a structural error due to inaccuracy of sensor body, and the other is a noise signal existing in sensed information. This paper presents a principle of 6-axis force-torque sensor briefly, a double-hole structure to be able to improve a structural error, and then a signal conditioning to reduce the effect of a noise signal. The validity of the proposed method is investigated through experimental study, which shows that SIN ratio is improved significantly in our experimental setup, and the sensor can be implemented cheaply with reasonable performance.

We setup the system to measure the noise characteristics of the 5M complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor by generic measurement indicator of Standard mobile imaging architecture (SMIA) which is one of internal standard of mobile imaging architecture. To evaluate the effect of environment and setting parameters, such as temperature and integration time, we measure the variation of the dark signal, dynamic range and fixed pattern noise of image sensor. We also detect the number of defective pixels and cluster defects defined as adjacent single defect pixels at 5M CMOS image sensor. Then, we find the existence of some cluster defects in experiment, which are not expected in calculation.
