Smoothing
Description
The signal-to-noise ratio can also be improved by spectral ‘’’smoothing’’’. This is achieved by averaging several adjacent data points across the recorded spectrum. For example, if the instrument recorded 5 data points per nm, the average of the 5 points can be taken for each successive nm across the range of the spectrum to give a 5-point smoothing. This method clearly reduces the wavelength resolution.
