Hey guys, random question. Is there any error associated with removing a DC component from a signal by subtracting the mean vs. using a high pass filter?
I didn't feel like this deserved a full blown question
Yes, the DC component should be a constant. It probably isn't a perfectly still constant, but I think for my purposes it is safe to assume that it is.
The signal in question is just readings from a load cell with no load on it (but there is still a very small DC component, the mean comes out to 1.125).
