A method and an apparatus for reducing an error rate

An apparatus (500, 600) for reducing an error rate, the apparatus (500, 600) comprising:

• a sensor (510a, 610) at a first position (130a);
• and
• a meter electronics (530, 630) coupled to and in communication with the sensor (510a, 610), the meter electronics (530, 630) configured to:
• obtain a first analog signal (512a, 612) representing a first kinematic property of the first position (130a) from the sensor (510a, 610);
• obtain a second analog signal (512b, 613) representing a second kinematic property of the first position (130a);
• digitize the first analog signal (512a, 612) into a first digital signal (514a, 614a);
• digitize the second analog signal (512b, 613) into a second digital signal (514b, 614b);
• and
• combine the first digital signal (514a, 614a) and the second digital signal (514b, 614b) into a combined signal (516, 616) such that an error rate of the combined signal (516, 616) is less than an error rate of one of the first digital signal (514a, 614a) and the second digital signal (514b, 614b).
