Course Description
| Course Name: | Reducing Noise in Sensors and Op-amps - Keep the Noise Out, and Optimize That Op-amp -Things You can Change, Things You are Stuck With |
| Time & Date: | 6:30PM to 8:30PM, Wednesdays, Oct. 27, Nov. 3, 10 |
| Location: | Holiday, Inn Select Hote, 15 Middlesex Canal Park Rd., Woburn, MA |

Course Summary:
Through lectures and demonstrations, this class aims to show how to identify noise sources so that you can improve the signal to noise ratio of your system. Noise that is a fundamental limitation of measurement can be separated from external interference when the system is designed carefully, as this course shows you how.
Target Audience:
Engineers who need to make a low noise system that has a sensor and a pre-amplifier. Engineers designing a mixed signal system with a micro and an A/D.
Anyone working on a mixed signal pc board layout.

Benefits of attending: You will learn how to recognize various noise sources, so you can make design changes to improve the SNR. Also, you will learn how to establish the best SNR that is ever possible for a given system - so you know the theoretical limits.
You will learn how to properly shield your sensor and amplifier.
You will see how best to layout a pcb to avoid digital contamination of low level analog signals.
Speaker Bio:
Mike Beach has been staring at noisy oscilloscope traces for more than 20 years while providing system developing various mixed signal instruments. He has successfully made instruments that use switch mode power supplies and also come close to the theoretical signal to noise limits of their sensors.
