In order to measure the unknown physical quantity y we have, to develop a forward model which relates this quantities to another one x directly measurable: x/spl rarr/y. Often the measurement model available is of the opposite nature, i.e. y/spl rarr/x. It is thus necessary to invert the available model: this operation in some cases can lead to an unacceptable level of uncertainty in the results. The inversion procedure requires regularization techniques in order to limit the uncertainty affecting the indirect measurements. This operation can be accomplished adopting different algorithms proposed by various authors. This paper shows a comparison of some algorithms for processing measured data using ill-conditioned inverse models employed for determining the distribution of indirectly measured quantities. They all perform Tikhonov regularization. The comparison is performed analyzing their metrological performances on the basis of two application tests, one linear and one non linear.","PeriodicalId":386903,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat.

Two different NSMM images were observed for patterned Cr films on glass substrates and analyzed as a function of the apex and the cone angle of the tapered part. The hybrid tips were coupled to a high quality dielectric resonator at an operating frequency f = 4.46 GHz. By using the hybrid tip, we demonstrated an improved high contrast NSMM image of lambda phage DNA on a glass substrate.","PeriodicalId":386903,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat.

Three methods for self-identification of the coefficients of the transducers' dynamics model, using exclusively the measured signal at the transducers' operating locations, are proposed. Analytical justification for the correctness of the proposed methods is presented for both: the special case of measuring periodic signals and for the general case when the measured signals are nonperiodic. The self-identification and correction procedures are performed as the algorithms processing the data collected from transducers.","PeriodicalId":386903,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat.

The most popular modeling approach is based on the i modal analysis concept, leading to an interpretation in terms of visualized eigenmodes. Typically, the number of nodes is very high (often over 100), including modes with high damping and high modal overlap. The paper discusses a key problem of the system identification process: the selection of the correct model order and related to this, the selection of valid system poles. A multi-order approach, followed by a heuristic selection process is outlined. A visual representation of the pole behavior is presented and the possible routes to automation are discussed. The process is illustrated with typical complex datasets, including full-scale industrial tests.","PeriodicalId":386903,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 21st IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (IEEE Cat.

The carrier frequency is evaluated by means of the zero-crossing sequence, the carrier phase offset is evaluated by analyzing the I-Q representation of the input base-band signal in comparison with the ideal standard constellation.
