Modeling Nanoelectromechanical Resonator Signals for Experimental Mass Measurements: A Total Variation Formulation by Thomas Fortin, Adrien Reynaud, Sandra Jeudy, Szu-Hsueh Lai, Vaitson Cumaku, Chantal Abergel, Sebastien Hentz, Christophe Masselon

“…However, this first model is not adapted to handle true experimental NEMS signals because, in the latter, we observe piecewise linear structures in addition to noise effects. As these unexpected structures, which we refer to as &#x201C;drifts&#x201D;, perturb NEMS signals and consequently mass measurements, we propose a new denoising model that takes into account both noise and drift effects under any experimental conditions. …”
