Microwave Sensors

Four sensing approaches for the implementation of microwave sensors based on transmission lines loaded with metamaterial-inspired resonators are considered in this review paper, and examples of applications are pointed out. In all the cases, sensing is based on the effects that the magnitude under measurement causes in the transmission properties of the resonator-loaded line. Such four strategies are (i) resonance frequency variation, (ii) coupling modulation through symmetry disruption (causing variation of the notch depth), (iii) frequency splitting (also exploiting symmetry properties), and (iv) amplitude modulation of a harmonic signal. Such sensors are useful in various scenarios, of interest in fields as diverse as characterization of dielectric materials for communication circuits, medical diagnosis and treatment with microwave technologies, and sensors for space applications, among others.

Abstract This paper aims to analyze the feasibility of establishing a dynamic drivetrain model from condition monitoring measurements. In this study SCADA data and further sensor data is analyzed from a 1.5MW wind turbine, provided by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. A multibody model of the drivetrain is made and simulation based sensors are placed on bearings to look at the possibility to obtain geometrical and modal properties from simulation based vibration sensors. Results show that the axial proxy sensor did not provide any usable system information due to its application purpose. SCADA data did not meet the Nyquist frequency and cannot be used to determine geometrical or modal properties. Strain gauges on the shaft can provide the shaft rotational frequency, while torque and angular displacement sensors can provide the torsional eigenfrequency of the system. Simulation based vibration sensors are able to capture gear mesh frequencies, harmonics, sideband frequencies and shaft rotational frequencies.

Mechanical And Structural Properties

Submerged systems are found in many engineering, biological, and medicinal applications. For such systems, due to the particular environmental conditions and working medium, the research on the mechanical and structural properties at every scale (from macroscopic to nanoscopic), and the control of the system dynamics and induced effects become very difficult tasks. For such purposes in submerged systems, piezoelectric patches (PZTp), which are light, small and economic, have been proved to be a very good solution. PZTp have been recently used as sensors/actuators for applications such as modal analysis, active sound and vibration control, energy harvesting and atomic force microscopes in submerged systems. As a consequence, in these applications, newly developed transducers based on PZTp have become the most used ones, which has improved the state of the art and methods used in these fields. This review paper carefully analyzes and summarizes these applications particularized to submerged structures and shows the most relevant results and findings, which have been obtained thanks to the use of PZTp.

The Impact

Impact resistance angular displacement sensors are widely used in motion mechanical system, which not only requires the sensor having the advantages of large measurement range, long life, also the sensor need to withstand shock and vibration. We use the finite element analysis on the key structure of the sensor and design the sensor circuit.. The sensor has the advantages of high strength shell and flexible packaging, and it can withstand the impact of the gravitational acceleration 100g on three directions.

Angular Displacements

A calibration system was developed for time grating angular displacement sensors to calibrate errors of this type of sensor. In the system, the motor was controlled by ARM processor according to the setting value coming from the USB port of the computer, and therefore the motor outputted angular displacement values. Meanwhile, with the motor turning, the optical grating, which was used as the criterion instrument, and time grating turned together corresponding angular displacements. Several displacement values from a circle of sensors of time grating and optical grating were sent to computer by serial port to be processed. Furthermore, an error calibration algorithm, which was based on the least square method (LMS), was used in this calibration system. The precise of time grating can reach to ±0.7″after calibrating using this algorithm and the process of error calibration can be automatically made by the computer.

Modulation Methods

Typical high-speed electrical transmission lines use a variety of precoding and equalization techniques to counter the frequency-dependent channel loss and environmental conditions such as ISI. In this paper, we suggest a relatively narrow-band signaling method that is resilient to the effects of ISI and crosstalk and can be implemented with existing technology. Alternative modulation schemes are analyzed in terms of effectiveness, performance, and cost. In particular, line-encoded and on-off keyed modulation methods are evaluated in simulations of transmission lines to gauge effectiveness in high-speed conditions with limiting ISI.

In this work, according to the characteristics of analytes, using XXY table and angular displacement tables to construct an automatic verticality measurement and correction system for three axes. For the purpose of measuring and correcting the spatial verticality of analytes in three axial directions, in this study, using a XXY table and angular displacement tables to set up a simulate carrier, these tables are driven by a four axes motion controller to adjust their posture, and then utilizing five laser displacement meters and self-developed signal processing program to carry out the measurement work. The system sets five laser displacement sensors in the surroundings of analytes respectively, and using the measured data by laser displacement sensors to calculate the yaw, pitch and roll angles of the analytes. Finally, by the four axes motion controller to adjust the motion of these tables, let laser light perpendicular to the surface of analytes as far as possible to achieve the goal of this system. After the experimental verification, the average error is not more than 0.0417 degrees.
