Drift (communications engineering)
In telecommunications, drift is a relatively slow change in a value or property of a system or facility.
Examples
For example there is the frequency drift ( frequency distortion ) and the drift of the output voltage. The drift can go in one direction, but it can also lead back in the direction of the original state, it can be cyclical, it can depend on ambient conditions ( temperature , humidity ) or on the aging of the components.
influence
The drift is usually undesirable. In particular, drift must be taken into account when calibrating devices (e.g. when determining a zero point). Undesired drift shifts this point. The closer the measurement is to the zero point, the greater the effect (e.g. with large enlargements or amplifications). In this context, one also speaks of zero point drift . This can be reduced by using a chopper amplifier .
Temperature drift
Under temperature drift ( English: temperature drift ) is the unwanted change of a physical size by changing the (ambient) temperature .
