Input Filtration
Peak filter
This filter is intended for eliminating
pulse spikes (peaks), which can appear
in the input signal, in the following way:
BBI250 measures the input signal value
every 120 ms (sample time).
The measured values are compared
subsequently. The filter checks
the difference between the last
2 samples. If it does not exceed
Gradient value, the device accepts
the signal as normal.
If the last measured value differs
from the previous one by more than
the Gradient value, the filter output
is held until the device determines
a presence of a normal signal.
It is possible only if the input signal
has not been changed with more than the
Gradient value for 4 subsequent samples.
If the device has not determined
a normal signal for 20 subsequent
samples, noi appears on the display
(see 'Basic level').
Low-pass filter
This first-order filter acts ONLY within
a certain band around filter output value.
This has been designed to cut periodic
noises outside the communication signal
spectrum.
Filter operation is defined by two
parameters:
Filter Time (defines filter time constant) and
Filter Band (defines filter active band around
filter output value).
If the newly measured value differs
from the filter output by more than
Filter Band, the filter resets
with a new initial output value
(newly measured value).
