Calibration method for acoustic sensor

A method in which an acoustic sensor disposed in a polishing apparatus can be accurately calibrated is disclosed. In this method, polishing sounds of a substrate are acquired using an acoustic sensor; and then at least two distinctive sounds, having distinctive frequencies respectively, are selected from the acquired polishing sounds. Further, the at least two distinctive sounds are output from a sound source coupled to any of a polishing table, the acoustic sensor, and a substrate holder to cause the at least two distinctive sounds to be input to the acoustic sensor. Next, output values of the acoustic sensor are calibrated, such that the output values of the acoustic sensor relative to the at least two distinctive sounds come within an allowable range.

This invention relates to the field of transformer measurement and testing, specifically to a method and system for detecting core loosening in amorphous alloy transformers. First, vibration, current, and temperature data are simultaneously acquired, and wavelet packet decomposition is used to extract the vibration energy characteristics of fine frequency bands. Then, a magnetostrictive model is constructed by combining the load current and its rate of change to obtain the equivalent excitation potential energy, and the nonlinear effects of load and temperature are decoupled by calculating the structural response impedance spectrum. Based on this, the trapezoidal integral method is used to calculate the hysteresis loop area of ​​impedance changing with temperature, quantifying the thermo-mechanical nonlinear loss of the core, and finally obtaining normalized detection indicators for graded early warning. This invention can effectively eliminate interference from varying operating conditions, accurately capture the loosening characteristics of the core caused by thermal accumulation effects, and significantly improve the robustness and accuracy of monitoring.
