  • METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE DATA ACQUISITION
    Publication number: 20140046631
    Abstract: Methods for adaptive data acquisition are disclosed herein. In one aspect, methods for adaptive data acquisition include performing a first sensing method on a signal having a plurality of components to determine the likelihood that a component is not a relevant signal component, retaining a portion of the signal components sensed using the first sensing method that are above a first threshold, performing a second sensing method on the signal components retained above a first threshold to determine the likelihood that a component is not a relevant signal component, wherein the second sensing method is more reliable than the first sensing method at determining the likelihood that a component is not a relevant signal component, and retaining a portion of the signal components sensed using the second sensing method that are above a second threshold.
    Type: Application
