Technical Library

To support and assist engineers in the test and measurement field we will feature a range of technical articles and links on this page that can be used as reference material. In addition you will find technical details of the standard Kemo filter responses.

We also have a range of case studies on our applications page which feature details of how Kemo products are used, this includes filters, impact hammers, accelerometers and low noise cable assemblies. Visit our APPLICATIONS page

To kick off this section we have created an introduction to electronic filters for your reference, learn all about high pass filters, low pass filters, band pass filters as well as the types of filter response such as Bessel, Butterworth and Anti-Aliasing

What is Triboelectric Noise?

Many engineers are not aware of the phenomenon of triboelectric noise, this can cause siginificant noise issues in a measurement system. Triboelectric noise is ‘motion induced noise’ which can be caused in cables which are carrying a charge signal from devices such as piezoelectric sensors (for example accelerometers). As the cables flex due to movement the layers within the cable rub together causing electrostatic charge to build up, this charge must go somewhere and if the correct cable type is not used it can be added to the signal charge causing a noisy output. This issue is limited by using Low Noise Cables. This video demonstrates how low noise cable can minmise triboelectric noise.
