AGARD Flight Test Instrumentation Series. Volume 17. Analogue Signal Conditioning for Flight Test Instrumentation

Abstract

This Flight-Test Instrumentation AGARDograph in the 160 Series addresses the application of analog signal conditioning to flight-test data-acquisition systems. Emphasis is placed on practical applications of signal conditioning for the most common flight-test data-acquisition systems. A limited amount of theoretical discussion is included to assist the reader in a more complete understanding of the subject matter. Nonspecific signal conditioning, such as amplifications, filtering, and multiplexing, is discussed. Signal conditioning for various specific transducers and data terminal devices is also discussed to illustrate signal conditioning that is unique to particular types of transducers. The purpose of this document is to delineate for the flight-test instrumentation engineer the various signal-conditioning technique options, together with tradeoff considerations, for commonly encountered flight-test situations. This AGARDograph has been sponsored by the Flight Mechanics Panel of AGARD. (Author)
