Synopsis:

Subject presents the review of a new or less known methods of signal digitalization and processing using digital or analogue methods. It should serve as the background material or source of inspiration for solution of the complex tasks of measurement. The explanation is based not only on theoretical principles but also on their application in the concepts of modern measuring instruments. It expands knowledge taught in basic courses by new principles and it is permanently innovated.
