We first derive the output signal representation of the interleaved digitizer, and then present a detailed spectrum analysis of the additional signal produced by offset difference with sinusoid input. It is found that the major power of the additional signal is located in the high frequency section, so we can filter out the additional signal to increase the system resolution. Finally, computer simulation that obtains the relationship curve between the system ENOB and the input signal frequency, is given.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"37 1","pages":"660-664 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81608126","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 NIST is experimenting with the use of an advanced ultrasonic flowmeter (AUFM) to improve flow measurement and to detect the dynamic properties of calibration facilities. Ultrasonic technology is evolving rapidly and technical advances have significantly improved flow measurement in continuous industrial processes. The AUFM couples multipath ultrasonic sensing capabilities with pattern recognition software to predict likely flow fields and their probability of existence. The knowledge encoded in the AUFM is derived from training exercises that use computational fluid dynamics and experimental results to teach a flow field recognizer (FFR) via a learning algorithm. A four-path ultrasonic flowmeter prototype has been used to demonstrate the AUFM operational principle. Results showed that the four-path meter can successfully identify flow patterns among several selected flow fields. The results also indicated that the ability of the FFR to identify flow patterns increases as the accuracy of the sensor increases, while decreases as the number of flow patterns considered increases. In addition to being used as a flow diagnostic tool, the AUFM could prove beneficial in field applications where installation effects can lead to gross errors when ultrasonic signals are evaluated using conventional integration techniques.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"31 1","pages":"1741-1746 vol.3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84226934","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}

First, we describe mathematical models of the cantilevered beam by an Euler-Bernoulli type partial differential equation including unknown parameters subject to random disturbance and the measurement equation taking vibration data including the observation noise. The identification problem using random dynamic data is divided into an estimation problem obtaining the (modal) state estimate and a least-squares problem determining unknown parameters, and then the unknown parameters are determined recursively by using two algorithms alternately. Finally, in order to verify the efficacy of the proposed algorithm simulation studies and experiments are shown.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"62 1","pages":"1354-1359 vol.2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84970167","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}

Particularly in automotive applications, a high degree of integration with as few external components as possible is desirable. We describe the design of an integrated angular speed sensor system based on a carrier frequency approach. To optimize the performance, we combined a synchronous demodulation strategy with an external resonance filter serving as clock reference and noise protection. The filter was extended by an additional low-pass easing implementation of the demodulator and compensating for internal signal delays. For system simulation, a simple analytical model based on Fourier synthesis was found to be superior to a conventional SPICE simulation.","PeriodicalId":68878,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Measurement Science and Instrumentation","volume":"70 1","pages":"433-436 vol.1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85129390","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}
