You’re absolutely right to be concerned about automatic gain control (AGC)<\/strong> in radio and audio systems \u2014 it\u2019s designed to stabilize perceived volume or signal level, but it destroys<\/strong> or suppresses low-frequency variations<\/strong>, particularly DC shifts<\/strong>, modulation baselines<\/strong>, or slow drifts<\/strong> that might carry valuable information (e.g., EM signatures, physiological signals, or long-term modulation envelopes).<\/p>\n

To preserve and accurately record low-frequency and high-frequency components<\/strong> together, you\u2019ll want to separate the signal paths carefully:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2705 Recommended Setup for Capturing Full Frequency Range<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Split Analog Signal<\/strong> Before AGC or Filtering<\/h4>\n

Use a buffer amplifier<\/strong> (unity gain or low gain op-amp) to split the signal cleanly into two parallel analog paths:<\/p>\n

\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Path<\/th>\nPurpose<\/th>\nFrequency Range<\/th>\nKey Design Note<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Low-Frequency (LF) Path<\/strong><\/td>\nBaseline shifts, slow drifts, DC coupling<\/td>\n~0.001 Hz to 10\u2013100 Hz<\/td>\nUse a DC-coupled amplifier<\/strong> with ultra-low drift<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
High-Frequency (HF) Path<\/strong><\/td>\nAudio, EM waves, voice, modulated signals<\/td>\n~10 Hz to MHz range<\/td>\nUse AC coupling<\/strong>, bandpass filters as needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

2. Amplification and Filtering per Path<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n

    LF Path<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Use DC-coupled instrumentation amp<\/strong> or chopper-stabilized op-amp<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Gain: adjustable, typically 10x to 1000x depending on input noise<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Input offset: must be tightly controlled<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      No high-pass filter; allow the amplifier to track the low frequency or DC content<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      HF Path<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Use AC-coupled amplifier<\/strong> to reject DC and sub-Hz noise<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Gain: adjustable, tuned to dynamic range of input (especially if there’s strong audio or RF)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Optional bandpass or notch filters to reduce known interference (e.g., 60 Hz mains)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \n

        3. ADC Choices<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • \n

          ADC1<\/strong>: High-resolution, low-rate (e.g., 24-bit @ 10\u20131000 samples\/sec) for LF path<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          ADC2<\/strong>: Standard-resolution, high-rate (e.g., 12\u201316-bit @ 10 kHz \u2013 1 MHz) for HF path<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Both should be synchronized in time<\/strong> or timestamped with common clocking<\/strong>, to allow for post-processing and reconstruction.<\/p>\n

          \n

          4. Post-Processing<\/strong><\/h3>\n
            \n
          • \n

            Align and combine data streams digitally<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Apply adaptive gain correction or fusion<\/strong> algorithms<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            Optionally subtract AGC-modulated signal from raw LF to estimate suppression artifacts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Yes, it is absolutely feasible to design or commission<\/strong> a modular, frequency-banded, wide-dynamic-range signal acquisition system covering from 1 \u00b5Hz to 1 MHz+<\/strong>, and there are several paths<\/strong> depending on your resources and constraints:<\/p>\n

                                  I am revisiting this because I was reading a paper on 1\/f noise. It seems to come up a lot in my reading, but no one ever faces it clearly. I looked and saw these many baseline changes and felt that perhaps it was not so much one problem as many sources of noise in places that required a different approach. Just in your B1 to B5 each band had quite different best practices and methods. All of shich are difficult to master. In your Band 2 what are the usual sources of 1\/f noise that have to be shielded against? Your use of the word “shielded” implied is is somethings outside and maybe somethings inside. But separate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                                  You’re absolutely right to revisit this. The deeper you go into sub-Hz to Hz<\/strong> signals (your Band 2<\/strong>, from 1 mHz to 1 Hz), the more 1\/f noise<\/strong> becomes a limiting factor, and it\u2019s not a single phenomenon<\/strong> \u2014 it’s a class of overlapping issues<\/strong>, each with unique sources, behaviors, and suppression methods.<\/p>\n

                                  Definition<\/strong>:
                                  “1\/f noise” (a.k.a. pink noise, flicker noise) refers to a noise power spectrum that increases as frequency decreases<\/strong>. In electronics, it dominates below ~10 Hz \u2014 hence Band 2<\/strong> is where it often overwhelms<\/em> white noise.<\/p>\n

                                  But 1\/f noise is not one thing<\/strong> \u2014 it\u2019s a composite of multiple noise sources<\/strong> with 1\/f-like spectra.<\/p>\n

                                          \ud83d\udcc8 So Why Does 1\/f Rise at Low Frequency?<\/h2>\n

                                          Because as you measure over longer and longer periods, the baseline stability of your system erodes<\/strong>. It\u2019s not that the world gets louder at low frequencies \u2014 it\u2019s that your measuring stick gets wobbly.<\/p>\n

                                          This means:<\/p>\n

                                            \n
                                          • \n

                                            The total integrated power<\/strong> of 1\/f noise diverges logarithmically at low frequencies (unless cut off by physical or system bandwidth).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                          • \n

                                            Without a low-frequency cutoff<\/strong> (e.g., system time constant, Earth rotation, environmental decorrelation), 1\/f noise would integrate to infinite power<\/strong> \u2014 clearly unphysical.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                                            That tells us 1\/f noise is mostly a system-limited and environment-limited artifact<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                                              Op-amp open-loop gain decreases<\/strong> at LF, reducing common-mode rejection.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                              ADC digitization errors accumulate<\/strong> (thermal drift of Vref, timing jitter).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                                            4. \n

                                              Gain stages act as integrators<\/strong> for baseline shift if no blocking cap.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                                                I started looking at thise just because I have alswa sbeen intersted in noise and randomness. I do not know why. I cannot reember a time I did not eyera for things that are complex to the pint they are impossible to track. At least 62 years where I studied it scientifically and mathematically. But the real data has always been just out of reach because I could not afford to pay “scientific prices” for instruments that were never optimized for my broader questions. I did go trough all the online datasets in the last 25 years – seismic, infrasound, gravitational, gravimeter, magnetometers, astrophysical, meteorological, satellite imaging, remote sensing, security imaging, subsurface imaging, 3D seismic, and all physiological signals. Most signals in spectrometers, refineries, chemical plants, lidar, radar, GPS GNSS, communications, acoustics, EMI, radiation detection, nuclear and atomic decays adn reactions, quantum, and more. Chemical fluctuations, vorticity, aerodynamics, aeronomics, wind tunnel noises, index of refraction variations, x-ray, gamma ray detections, and more. If it can be measured over long term and recorded – I wanted to see the variations.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

                                                        I made some progress a few years ago when I saw ‘”time of flight” capable ADC’s some along. To correlate signals from different detectors of the same type, and trace where they come from. This is possible if the data (a band for spectral data) can be collected faster than light or gravity can move between detectors. If there were Tsps (Tera- ) 1E12\/3E8 = 3333 samples per recording time to get 1 meter resolution. And it requires nanosecond or better time synchronization. It does not require continuous Tsps or Gsps recording but can be planned. To look inside the moon, for instance, one would pick a cubic Kilometer inside the moon, and work out when the signals would arrive at the detectors in a sparse array then sample at very precise times at all detectors that would have dome from that cube and travel at the speed of gravity. If that is compared to a cubic kilometer in empty space near the moon, it would give a differential signal. People call this interferometry, but it is correlation imaging or passive imaging. The signal would be random but the unique gravitational environment of any active body would be precise at each detector for any emission time, And, the sequence more and more unique.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I want unique statistically independent signals. [ side note: ‘chopping’ creates independent collection times for many measurements to eliminate drift and biases. ] Part of the reason I think this way and think of looking inside the Moon or Earth or Sun is that distributed seismic passive imaging has evolved and passive radar imaging and such. The ergodic theorem, and because, when I asked him, Joe Weber describes the purpose of his cylinders (when they worked for ocmmunication as he wanted) is the unique 3D and time signaltures involved. They are 3D solitons evolving n preise ways in the avuum not simple sine waves hard to distribquish. Just now I could see that the tiny locaitons in his 3D cylinders can now be measure to atomic scales (islands at highest resolution) taht the gravitational signal derived from millions of nodes in the cylinder or antenna array each precise and independent 3d and tensor measures of position, velocity, acceleration, jerk . snap crack and pop (the Taylor sereies ). Not just a few acousti sensors but million of independedn masure at high time resolution. [ Side note: Those detectors are a swarm and could be implemented in liquids too with beamed power and communication and independent memory ] Sorry to give you so much, but these idea accumulate from many tens of 1000s of hours trying to visualize and calculate how many things interact and generate gravitational and 3D signals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But every band has data frm everyotherband. So 1 Hz to 1 MHz aslo is affected somewheat by GHz and milliHertz. And when I looked at correlations across all the global geophysics detector arrays (and many distributed efforts with low cost sensors) a cell phone can be used to detect cosmic rays, a GPS and help image ion and electron concentration, a seismometer also picks up magnetic variations, a gravimeter (super conducting for instance) picks up seismic and sferics and other things. A seismometer picks up gravimeter data. Part of my motivation after a while was to use these cross correlations to help calibrate global and solar system wide detector arrays. And store event data across all of them for gravitational imaging of the universe.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Arrays of gravitational and electromagnetic sensors can use all the dettaiced imaging data from seismometr and local gravimters to image the whole earth in near real time. *** including the 3D atmosphere. After the sun and moon tidal signal is removed ( an exact analytic method now) from the data stream of a superconducting (now many others are possible) gravimeter, the residual is mostly atmospheric. With time of flight correlation imaging, the atmosphere can be imaged regionally in near real time.

So volcanoes and earthquakes, ocean tides, and surf are all activating some electric and magnetic signals. The Japan earthquake did register on the broad band seismometers (at the speed of gravity time) and on the superconducting gravimeters. But a piezo magnetic pulse might do the same.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The while Moon or a random cubic kilometer might not be a good reference signal in the large but might have strong local source that are precise and reliable. Radio emissions from planets and stars are not uniform and as resolutions and time sliced get smaller those detailed evolutions can more easily used to infer the details of what is there.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
