Difference Amplifiers
A difference amplifier is a special purpose amplifier designed to measure differential signals, otherwise known as a subtractor. A key feature of a difference amplifier is its ability to remove unwanted common mode signals, known as common mode rejection (CMR). Unlike most types of amplifiers, difference amplifiers are typically able to measure voltages beyond the supply rails, and are used in applications where large dc or ac common-mode voltages are present. They are ideal for current and voltage monitoring. Analog Devices offers a range of difference amplifiers, optimized for low distortion, low power, or high voltage performance.

TDR Structural Health Monitoring
Material Sensing & Instrumentation
MSI Time-Domain-Reflectometry (TDR) Structural-Health Monitoring probes the structural health of a composite part by propagating a fast electrical pulse along a distributed linear sensor which has been fabricated directly in the laminate. The sensor is formed from the native graphite fibers already used in composite manufacture, and constitutes zero defect. Fibers are patterned into a microwave waveguide geometry, or transmission line, and interrogated by a rapid pulse as shown below. Structural faults along the line cause distortions in waveguide geometry, producing reflected pulses similar to radar. Cracking, delamination, disbonds, moisture penetration, marcelling, and strain are all detected by propagation delay, for sensor lengths up to several meters.

Vibration Test
Vibration testing determines the dynamic effects on component part of vibration within the frequency ranges and magnitudes that may be encountered during field service. Vibration, for example, causes loosening of parts or relative motion between parts in the specimen, producing objectionable operating characteristics, noise, wear, and physical distortion, and often results in fatigue and failure of mechanical parts.

Dynamic Calibration for ROSS Streak Cameras
DynaCal
The DynaCal Optical Calibration Module (OCM) is designed exclusively for the Sydor ROSS Streak Camera to ensure accuracy, both over time and in situ, so you can be confident that the data from your shot is certified to be correlated to the calibration of your camera. The beauty of in situ calibration is that the cost of removing and resetting the camera is avoided—and so is the risk of the replacement of the camera and shifting or disturbing the sensitive nature of streak camera results. Only in situ calibration will reveal the real world effects of EMR, gravity, electronic noise and more when they distort your camera results.

Advanced Industrial Measurement Systems
Renishaw’s styli are some of the most accurate in the market. The balls on the end of the styli are bonded to the stems to ensure that there is no wiggle room – as compared to the traditional ball drilling method to fix the stem to the ball – which causes distortions, and thus measurement errors. Renishaw’s styli are a much more capable option for the CMM. These balls also perfectly spherical, are located at the optimum position on the stem, are threaded nicely and are extremely sturdy during measurement. Additionally, Revolution® CMM’s are supplied with Renishaw Grade 5 High Accuracy Styli.

Air Core Line & Load Reactors
Line and load reactors are generally serial-connected to the input and/or output terminals of three phase equipment such as motor speed controllers, inverters and UPS systems. These equipment make use of semiconductor switches such as IGBTs, thyristors, and diodes and therefore create harmonic distortion and high switching over-voltages (dv/dt). Use of such equipment has been becoming more widespread as the technology advances. However, the negative effects of these equipment should not be overlooked.
