Abstract :
When telemetering scientific data it is frequently desirable to improve the quality of the received data. This can be accomplished by improving either the transducer or the communication link or both. In practice, one would improve that unit for which the payoff is the greatest. Therefore, a study of the information content of the signal process which is lost to the transducer was conducted. This paper presents a method for determining the loss of information in first order transducers. Input signals to the transducers are sample functions from the Stationary Gaussian Markoff (SGM) process. Transducers considered are those which can be modeled by the four resistance, capacitance circuit equivalents: low pass, high pass, integrator and differentiator networks. Mean Integral Square Error (MISER) is used as a goodness measuring criterion.
