Proposal of a standardized treatment for transducers signal behavior

The explosion of technology that invades our lives has an influence not only on what is plausible to be standardized but opens possibilities not even thought. In the sensor world, the intelligence has been concentrated in the point of measurement, inside the transducer. Considering CPU capabilities, cost, low consumption and reduction of size, the sensor signal will be processed entirely into the smart sensor, even for cheap and simple sensors. The world is inferred through sensor signals, so thinking of sensor fusion and system validation, there is a need to interchange knowledge of the sensor signal behavior in a standardized way. This paper presents algorithms suitable for any sensor signal that start from oversampled data and end with knowledge about the sensor signal behavior in a normalized scheme. It has been suggested that this proposal could be included into the set of IEEE 1451 standards.
