Analysis of noise in electrically compensated pyranometers
Leonardo Ceccato de Lima, Marcus Antônio Viana Duarte · Review of Scientific Instruments · 1997
This article analyzes electronic self-generated noise, signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity for electrically compensated pyranometers. The conclusion from this study is that the source of self-generated noise in this kind of instrument depends mainly on the electrical resistance ratio on its sensors. A sensitivity analysis also demonstrated that the voltage output of these pyranometers is most sensitive to variation in resistance value of the compensation sensor.
