The INL estimation process is then reduced to three operations: a discrete Fourier transform (DFT), a matrix inversion and an inverse DFT. In comparison with the initial approach, the algorithm proposed in this article reduces by two the set of parameters required to obtain the INL. This new method is validated on experimental data from the 12-bit ADC12D800RF converter run at 800MHz.","PeriodicalId":424006,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC) Proceedings","volume":"298 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121727722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, the electrical interconnections between the die and the output pins are crucial. Usually, bond wires with diameters ranging from 400 μm to less than 50 μm are used to establish the electrical interconnections. Typically, due to the small diameters, redundant wires are necessary in order to guarantee the current-carrying rating of the device. In this particular case, commonly used electrical tests are not able to detect the loss of single wires. However, missing or not connected bond wires will result in a different magnetic field distribution surrounding the device. This paper presents a new measurement method based on a magneto-optical sensor to detect missing bond wires in a power MOSFET chip via magnetic field imaging. The Faraday effect is utilized, which enables us to resolve magnetic flux densities down to 127 nT with a spatial resolution of approximately 21.6 μm.","PeriodicalId":424006,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC) Proceedings","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124646642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The internal damage of CFRP composites, such as fiber fracture and delamination, decreases the conductivity of composite laminates. The present study employs an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) method for monitoring damages in CFRP composites. Traditional EIT is not capable of extracting damage information when the medium is of highly anisotropic electrical conductivity. Therefore, considering the structure and the anisotropic electrical property of CFRPs, this paper presents a method of extracting the damage size and position for anisotropic CFRPs based on open EIT with 6 × 6 electrode array. Five current excitation strategies are compared and evaluated from the perspectives of both measurement and imaging precision. The results show that excited pairs with four intervals have better overall performances, which can provide effective basis for next research step of digging structural damage parameters.","PeriodicalId":424006,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I2MTC) Proceedings","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115345373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the task of collecting a large amount of measurements represents an expensive and time-consuming procedure, an accurate estimate needs to be extracted based on a short input/output data record. Well-tuned regularization methods are getting popular to improve the impulse response estimates in this and other situations, by reducing the model variance. Although it is commonly believed that the beneficial impact of regularization is mainly evident for short data records, in this paper it will be shown that this is also the case when a large amount of data is available.
