Abstract
Methods and systems using Pade' Approximant expansion ratios provide mappings between nonlinear sensors and a more linear output domain. The method includes (a) generating a variably amplified version of the input signal in accordance with a produced and variable gain defining signal; (b) generating an output signal that exhibits a substantially linear dependency from a sum of a supplied offset signal and the variably amplified version of the input signal; (c) multiplying the output signal by a supplied gain correction factor to produce a feedback gain correction signal; and (d) using the feedback gain correction signal to produce the variable gain defining signal.
