System Noise and Ground Loops
February 12, 2020
A vibration testing system is connected by various cables that transmit electrical signals, which contain noise. Vibration controllers are very sensitive to electrical noise and it is often visible during testing.
There are two sources of noise in vibration testing systems: ground loop noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Both sources can cause a variety of problems, such as measurement errors.
In this course, you will learn
