Where is noise generated on a data network

Keeping digital circuits from contaminating analog circuits with noise is a challenge because shared ground the circuit can be a source of noise on the analog side. Isolation, filtering, and physical distance are some common methods to reduce noise in the analog portion of a mixed signal circuit. Another source of external noise includes environmental causes, such as physical vibration and increases in temperature.

The internal noise of components is due to fundamental physical properties and can increase naturally due to high temperatures, and is called thermal noise. Thermal noise increases with an increase in environmental temperature.

Thermal noise is also known as Johnson noise. Shot noise is another type of inherent noise fundamental to physical phenomena, which occurs as a result of charge carriers overcoming potential barriers, mainly due to fluctuations in the electrical current.

When the results of the DNN fit are used as a guess for LS, the advantages of both methods are combined d , e. Since hybrid fitting showed a unique combination of accuracy and stability to high noise thresholds, we have further explored its applicability as a tool for data analysis.

Specifically, we have chosen a material with strong and known ferroelectric properties Bismuth ferrite BiFeO 3 , or BFO and investigated its response at decreasing values of piezoelectric drive amplitude Fig.

In this set-up, we can directly compare information provided by the fitting of experimental data with varying SNR ratios.

We have used four methods of fitting: least-square with uniform guesses A the same as was used for Fig. It is evident that using uniform guesses result in poor fitting even for high driving voltages Fig. However, supplying more meaningful initial guesses strongly improves the fit quality Fig.

This serves as another vivid demonstration that least-squares is a powerful method, however, its convergence is heavily dependent on the starting point. When the SNR is decreased by an order of magnitude from 2 to 0. The results of DNN fitting are presented in Fig. In fact, a comparison between hybrid and state-of-art fitting reveals that former allows for phase contrast analysis with 10—20 times smaller SNR. The details of contrast extraction are discussed in Supplemental information Section 2.

Piezoresponse force microscopy phase maps obtained by fitting the lateral PFM signal with decreasing drive amplitude: a comparison of least-squares with uniform guesses a , least-squares with guesses generated using traditional methods b , deep neural network fitting c and a hybrid fit d.

We attribute this to the fact that a single spike in a spectrum might be interpreted as a resonance peak by the converging LS optimizer, while DNN considers correlations across both real and imaginary signals and across the entire band. At the same time, some peculiarities of the neural networks must be respected for the successful design of hybrid fitter. As it was previously mentioned, DNN does not directly utilize a concrete physical model in the process of the fitting. Consequently, it may generate physically unfeasible outputs such as Q factors equal to 0.

While this happens in less than one percent of cases, it is practically useful to bypass such values with some predetermined guess values. While the exact architecture of the network as well as function to be fitted can be customized of case-by-case basis, we believe that our approach in the current state can be readily adopted for other applications requiring fitting of a known function, which quantitatively describes certain physical processes.

In this case batch generation of synthetic datasets becomes a viable approach to train neural network and ultimately extract relevant multivariate parameters. We also suggest that the output of the NN fitter needs to undergo further optimization using any appropriate technique such as least-square optimizer to ensure the precision of parameter estimation.

We demonstrate a novel approach for the inverse problem solution and extraction of physical model parameters from spectral-imaging data-based least-squares fitting augmented by deep learning for determination of priors.

Pattern recognition allows for accessing functional properties of materials with a signal that is more than an order of magnitude weaker than it was possible without it approaching thermal limit. Specifically, for the case of piezoresponse microscopy, we demonstrate imaging at the order of magnitude lower excitation voltages. The use of deep learning as a tool to generate priors for functional fitting algorithms can be extremely beneficial in a broad range of instrumentation and measurement applications, helping to increase the range of materials that can be studied via reduction in the amplitude of required excitation , as well as possible advances in the temporal resolution, due to the reduction in need to signal average in time 46 , We further argue that this approach can be broadly applied to more complex physical models of the response.

In the future, the implementation of these networks into hardware will greatly accelerate processing, and thereby enhance effective instrument capabilities with existing experimental hardware.

In essence, these approaches allow one to push the fundamental limits of the instruments via increased information extraction from the measured signals. We envision that fitting algorithms involving neural networks can be successfully applied to more general task finding inverse problems solutions by providing optimal initial conditions and guiding searches for traditional computation parameter extraction approaches.

Not only will anti-aliasing filters reduce the possibility of aliasing but they will also remove noise at frequencies above the ant-aliasing filter cutoff frequency.

There are many additional considerations that experienced consultants and vendors can help identify. Sensors and other electrical components often have special instructions that must be adhered to.

One example we see frequently is that AC drives require special consideration for grounding and shielding of associated cables to effectively reduce noise generated by the drive. The motor cable should be shielded and ground wires grounded at both the drive ground terminals as well as the motor terminal box. Motor cables for motors larger than 30 kW 40 hp require symmetrically constructed grounding conductors in the cable for optimal electrical performance.

Motor cable shielding should also be grounded at both the motor and drive ends using the degree shielding method. A good vendor should be able to help identify these considerations during the purchasing process, but attention should be paid to the documentation that comes with the parts. Every system is different, so a more in-depth study into each noise problem for your specific application may be required in order to effectively reduce or eliminate a noise issue.
