Sensing small signals is a challenge in process control environments where the sensors used to capture temperature, pressure, and other environmental information produce low level signals. These signals can easily be masked by the ambient noise in the physical vicinity of the measurement, placing tough requirements on the electronics in the remainder of the signal path. If a high level of accuracy is required in these data acquisition systems, the effective signal fullscale range must be decreased making the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) higher. Several techniques, in the digital domain as well as analog domain, can be used to improve the signalto- noise ratio of the sensing system.
