Optimization of radio astronomical observations using Allan variance measurements
Stability tests based on the Allan variance method have become a standard procedure for the evaluation of the quality of radio-astronomical instrumentation. They are very simple and simulate the situation when detecting weak signals buried in large noise fluctuations. For the special conditions during observations an outline of the basic properties of the Allan variance is given, and some guide...
متن کاملQuantifying noise in optical tweezers by allan variance.
Much effort is put into minimizing noise in optical tweezers experiments because noise and drift can mask fundamental behaviours of, e.g., single molecule assays. Various initiatives have been taken to reduce or eliminate noise but it has been difficult to quantify their effect. We propose to use Allan variance as a simple and efficient method to quantify noise in optical tweezers setups.We app...
متن کاملThe Wavelet Variance , Allan Variance and Leakage
Wavelets have recently been a subject of great interest in geophysics, mathematics and signal processing. The discrete wavelet transform can be used to decompose a time series with respect to a set of basis functions, each one of which is associated with a particular scale. The properties of a time series at different scales can then be summarized by the wavelet variance, which decomposes the v...
متن کاملPower spectrum and Allan variance methods for calibrating single-molecule video-tracking instruments.
Single-molecule manipulation instruments, such as optical traps and magnetic tweezers, frequently use video tracking to measure the position of a force-generating probe. The instruments are calibrated by comparing the measured probe motion to a model of Brownian motion in a harmonic potential well; the results of calibration are estimates of the probe drag, α, and spring constant, κ. Here, we p...
متن کاملModeling Inertial Sensors Errors Using Allan Variance
It is well known that Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) can provide high accuracy information on the position, velocity, and attitude over a short time period. However, their accuracy degrades rapidly with time. The requirements for accurate estimation of navigation information necessitate the modeling of the sensors' noise components. Several methods have been devised for stochastic modeling o...
