For a signal conditioner explain the terms linearization and signal conversion.

1 Answer

Answer :

Definition : 

1. linearization : Many primary elements produce nonlinear outputs and the signal must be linearized to produce a nearly ideal calibration. Specialized analog circuits such as offsetting circuits, proportional output circuits, V to I convertor etc. are used to linearize a signal. Even computer algorithms are also used.
