ANALOG SIGNALS

What are Analog & Digital Signals? Difference between these signals

Define Signals? Signals are defined as a source of information which varies with respect to independent variable. Signals are used in communicating information in any form. A data or information or message which is collected from one system is converted into electromagnetic wave and send to receiver end. The signals converted into electromagnetic wave can …

Working and Types of Manometer

What is the working principle of a manometer? Describe various types of manometers used to measure pressure: Several types of manometers are used to measure pressure as laboratory or local indicating equipment 1. U-Tube Manometer: P1-P2 = (ρ-ρ1)*(h1-h2)*g  In general P1-P2=ρ*h*g Where ρ= Fluid Density h= Height g= Gravitational Constant = 9.8 ms-2 P2-P1 = …

RVDT- Rotary Variable Differential Transformer

What is RVDT? RVDT is a passive type transducer. RVDT means Rotary Variable Differential Transformer. It is also an electromechanical-based inductive transducer that converts angular displacement linear output. RVDT main function is used to sense the angular displacement into proportional electrical signal. LVDT and RVDT operate in similar ways. In contrast to RVDT, which uses …
