Homodyne photothermal spectrometry (HPS) is a very wide bandwidth signal recovery technique which uses many of the elements of lock-in detection at very low cost. The method uses a frequency sweep, with a high-frequency bandwidth of up to 10 MHz, to excite a linear photothermal system. The response sweep of the photothermal system is downshifted into a bandwidth of a few kilohertz by means of in-phase mixing with the excitation sweep with the use of a four-quadrant double-balanced mixer and a low-pass filter. Under conditions derived from theory, the filter output gives a good approximation to the real part of the photothermal system's frequency response, dispersed as a function of time. From a recording of this signal, the frequency and impulse response of the photothermal system are rapidly recovered at very high resolution. The method has been tested with the use of laser photopyroelectric effect spectrometry and provides an inexpensive, convenient method for the recovery of high-frequency photothermal signals.

This paper presents a comparison work between the filtering methods of fatigue strain loadings using the frequency spectrum and the wavelet transform (WT), in which a raw loading signal can be simplified for purpose of simulation. For this reason, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the Morlet wavelet algorithms were used in order to transform the vibrational fatigue time series into the frequency domain signal, leading to the observation of the frequency characteristics of the signal. To retain high amplitude cycles in the FFT algorithm, a low pass filter technique was applied to remove the high frequency signals with small amplitude that are non-damaging. The departure of high frequency information smoothed the low amplitude cycles at high frequency events in the fatigue signal. The Butterworth filter was selected as the most efficient filter design as it retained most of the fatigue damage and also had the capability to remove 30 % of the original low amplitude cycles. On the other hand, the Morlet wavelet managed to remove 64 % of the original 59 second signal. This wavelet filtering method removed 34 % more than the similar procedure applied through the FFT approach. Hence, this fatigue data summarising algorithm can be used for studying the durability characteristics of automotive components.

The paper discusses the possibility of using a closed horizontal loop in a TEM measuring system to reduce the external high–frequency electromagnetic noise induced in a receiving loop. It is shown that the effect of an additional loop on the frequency response of the TEM measuring system is similar to that of a low–pass filter. In order to effectively reduce external noise, one should locate the auxiliary loop as close as possible to the receiver one.

As the key junction between the ground and underground, hoisting systems as well as mines themselves are of vital importance to coalmine production. Laser ranging method is studied as a new solution of getting the real-time position directly. Furthermore, multi-scale phase based laser ranging principles are utilized in the system. The paper is aimed to conduct research into the problems existing in standard signal generating while using laser to locating the hoisting container, and to design standard sine generator circuits with DDS technology and DDS devices AD9850 to generate multiple frequency standard signals. In view of the serious noise disturbance in high frequency output, 4-order Chebyshev low-pass filter is designed, by using the integrated analog filters LT 6600-15, to filter the sine signals from AD9850 and to effectively weaken the noise disturbance. The established practical circuits are tested, obtaining trillion level high frequency and low frequency sine signals and fulfilling the requirements for the location system of hoisting containers.

Platt, Ronald S., Eric A. Hajduk, Manuel Hulliger, and Paul A. Easton. A modified Bessel filter for amplitude demodulation of respiratory electromyograms. J. Appl. Physiol. 84(1): 378–388, 1998.—We studied a device that is commonly used for amplitude demodulation of respiratory muscle electromyograms (EMG). This device contains a rectifier and a low-pass filter called a modified third-order Paynter filter. We characterized this filter and found that it has good transient characteristics that suit its task as an EMG demodulator, but it has poor high-frequency attenuation that passes interfering, higher frequency components to the output waveform. Therefore, we designed and constructed a new filter with transient characteristics that are comparable to those of the modified Paynter filter but with superior high-frequency attenuation. This new filter is a modified seventh-order Bessel filter. We also identified a simple technique to convert an existing modified Paynter filter back to an original Paynter filter. The original Paynter filter has a wider pass band than the modified Paynter filter but superior stop-band attenuation.
