Signal Processing<br />

5.2 Digitizing the analog signal<br />

U ~ F z U ~ F z<br />

≥12-bit ADC resolution over ±5 V volt range<br />

Analog anti-aliasing filter (before the ADC) with ≈600 Hz<br />

low-pass cutoff<br />

t t<br />

The sampling rate can be approximated by the following<br />

formula:<br />

Sampling rate =<br />

velocity (m/s) x min. of measured points<br />

footprint length<br />

The minimum of measured points means the minimum<br />

quantity of sampling points per signal, to approximate the<br />

original force signal without loosing information, it should<br />

never fall below 10 to 20, even under best conditions.<br />

Examples:<br />

Truck Tire<br />

velocity 80 km/h =<br />

22,2 m/s (50 mph)<br />

number of measured points per curve 20<br />

footprint length 0,4 m<br />

22,2 m/s x 20<br />

Sampling rate = = 1 111 Hz<br />

0,4 m<br />

High inflated car tire<br />

velocity 150 km/h =<br />

41,6 m/s (93 mph)<br />

number of measured points per curve 10<br />

footprint length 0,15 m<br />

41,6 m/s x 10<br />

Sampling rate = = 2 778 Hz<br />

0,15 m<br />

Practically: 2 000 preferred<br />
