The common denominator of the activities of the research Group has been the analysis, development and characterization of new methods and devices for measurement-oriented signal processing, with particular attention to the development of digital signal processing methods. The research Group has pioneered in the exploitation of DSP techniques for measurement applications and has developed several innovative methods and algorithms for both the time-domain and frequency-domain signal analysis.
All proposed techniques have been experimentally validated with practical applications in the field of electrical measurement and in other fields. In particular, measurement methods have been studied for the characterization and diagnostics of electric power systems and components, as well as sensors for the analysis and characterization of components based on conductive, insulating, and magnetic materials.
