Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ocean electric field measurement, in particular to a switch control metal mesh modulated seawater electric field measurement system and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing ocean measurement system, mainly acoustic and magnetic detection is adopted. The acoustic and magnetic measurement in seawater is relatively mature, and the electric field measurement is relatively less studied and more difficult. In the ocean, which is a special propagation medium with a large number of ion-conducting solutions, the high-frequency electromagnetic field attenuates very greatly, and the physical methods and electric field sensors that can measure the electric field in the air are almost impossible to be applied to the ocean. Therefore, a new high-sensitivity electric field sensor and instrument need to be researched according to the special equivalent circuit and propagation characteristics of the ocean electric field, the adverse effects of seawater on the electric field propagation need to be solved, and the measurement and accurate positioning of the long-distance and weak electric field in the ocean need to be realized. This is of great significance to the research of ocean resource investigation, mineral discovery, marine biology and ship movement.
[0003] The low-frequency / direct-current electric field of the ocean is measured by using the natural potential method, which is widely used at present. The principle is that two potential sensors measure the potential difference in a distance of seawater to measure the electric field. The farther the distance of the measured electric field source is, the greater the distance of the two measurement electrodes needs to be. Although researchers have continuously discovered new materials and improved the noise of the electrode, due to the fact that the measurement sensor does not consider the low-frequency / direct-current electromagnetic field drift and the unavoidable ocean environment electric field interference, it is greatly affected by the seawater environment and other factors, in addition, the matching problem of the measurement probe is not considered, when the distance is far, not only the distance of the measurement electrode needs to be large, but also the sensitivity of the measurement is poor, and it is difficult to be used for the detection of long-distance, small interval and weak electric field signal.
[0004] Another type is a modulation type electric field sensor with mechanical modulation, field grinding and chopper circuit added in front of the electric field measurement sensor, which is used to reduce the influence of low-frequency ocean electric field drift and circuit drift. This kind of sensor and circuit can suppress the drift through mechanical modulation and chopper circuit. However, the mechanical modulation frequency is low, and it will stir up waves and produce interference, and the chopper circuit can only improve the drift of the receiving circuit, without considering the matching of the electric field transducer and the received signal, so the maximum sensor output voltage, the lowest drift and the highest signal-to-noise ratio cannot be obtained, and the sensor sensitivity is low. It can be seen that the traditional representative electric field sensing principle and instrument cannot meet the application requirements of long-distance ocean weak electric field detection.
[0005] Seawater has good conductivity, high frequency electric field cannot be transmitted over long distances, only very low frequency, even static electric field can be transmitted over long distances, the regulation and control of electric field signal in seawater is completely different from that in air, not only the electric field transmission should be considered, but also the conduction movement of electric field charge, therefore, a new method of high frequency electronic regulation and control of measured electric field and matching electrode output is needed, which not only greatly improves the modulation frequency and reduces the matching inductance, but also uses small measurement electrode to meet the higher sensitivity measurement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] The application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the application, but do not limit the application in any form. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the application. These are within the scope of protection of the application.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] The application provides an electric field measurement system for switch-controlled metal mesh modulation of seawater, as Figure 1As shown, it comprises: a shield 103, a metal mesh 102, a measuring electrode 104, a wire 105, an electronic switch 106, a matching circuit 109, an amplification and filter circuit 110, a frequency conversion circuit 111, a narrow-band filter 112, a lock-in amplifier 113 and a computer 114
[0049] The measuring electrode 104 and the metal mesh 102 are arranged in the shield 103, and the measuring electrode 104 and the metal mesh 102 are arranged parallel to the opening surface of the shield 103, and the metal mesh 102 is close to the opening surface of the shield 103; the metal mesh 102 is connected with the shield 103 through the wire 105 and the electronic switch 106; the measuring electrode 104 is connected with the matching circuit 109 through the wire 105;
[0050] The matching circuit 109, the amplification and filter circuit 110, the frequency conversion circuit 111, the narrow-band filter 112, the lock-in amplifier 113 and the computer 114 are connected in sequence.
[0051] Wherein, the metal mesh 102 with large holes is installed in front of the measuring electrode 104, and the metal mesh 102 is connected with the shielding cover 103 through the switch 106. When the switch 106 is off, the electric field source 100 in the seawater can pass through the metal mesh 102 with large holes to the measuring electrode 104 without any obstruction; when the electronic switch 106 is on, the metal mesh 102 is connected with the shielding cover 103, the electric charges generated by the metal mesh 102 are absorbed by the shielding cover 103, and the electric field in the seawater 101 is blocked by the metal mesh 102. The electric field reaching the measuring electrode 104 is modulated by alternating the on and off of the electronic switch 106. The seawater modulation method provided by the present application is different from the modulation of changing the direction of the seawater electric field, which completely blocks the measured electric field, and can adapt to the charge modulation of seawater electric field with various frequencies and motion speeds, and has obvious advantages. Since the modulation completely changes the characteristics of the seawater electric field, the voltage and power received on the measuring electrode 104 can be obviously improved by adding a matching circuit 109 after the electric field / voltage conversion of the measuring electrode 104, which is also a feature that the traditional modulation does not have. The matching circuit 109 passes through an amplifier and a filter 110 to improve the output voltage and suppress the interference and noise far away from the frequency of the modulation signal. Then, the frequency conversion circuit 111 is used to improve the frequency of the frequency conversion, so that the interference and noise far away from the frequency conversion signal 108 can be well filtered out through the narrowband filter 112. The lock-in amplifier 113 has two functions, one of which is to further filter out the noise signal at the non-modulation frequency, and the other of which is to demodulate the modulation signal into a direct current signal reflecting the modulation amplitude. The direct current signal is sent into the computer 114 for measurement through A / D conversion. The modulation control 116 of the electronic switch 106 and the frequency control 117 of the frequency conversion circuit 111 are both generated by the computer 114. The present application modulates the measured electric field through the electrically controlled metal mesh 102, and then performs matching output, the modulation frequency can be very high, the output amplitude is improved, and the modulation degree can be close to 100%, which avoids the influence of the traditional modulation method and the motion speed of the electric charge on the modulation, and improves the amplitude of the frequency conversion modulation signal. This is also impossible for the traditional mechanical modulation and electric control modulation, which improves the resolution and frequency measurement range of the measurement system, greatly reduces the size, and improves the output amplitude. This also lays a foundation for the future array sensor, which can form an electric field phased array sensor system, measure the vector electric field and electric field distribution, and greatly expand the measurement range of the ocean electric field.
[0052] Example 2
[0053] Embodiment 2 is a preferred example of Embodiment 1
[0054] According to the present application, a switch-controlled metal mesh modulation seawater electric field measurement system is provided, which comprises: a frequency conversion receiving and matching 107, a noise signal suppression processing and demodulation circuit 115, and a computer 114.
[0055] Wherein, the frequency conversion receiving and matching 107 includes: metal mesh 102, shield 103, measuring electrode 104, wire 105, electronic switch 106, matching circuit 109; the computer 114 controls the on-off of the electronic switch 106 through the modulation control 116, the metal mesh 102 blocks the electric field when the switch is on, the shield 103 cooperates with the metal mesh 102 so that the electric field cannot reach the measuring electrode 104, the electronic switch 106 does not affect the electric field to reach the measuring electrode 104 when it is off, the electronic switch 106 realizes the modulation of the electric field by alternating on-off, and the matching circuit 109 enables the electric field to have maximum output voltage and power output;
[0056] The noise signal processing and demodulation circuit 115 includes: amplification and filtering circuit 110, frequency conversion circuit 111, narrow-band filter 112 and lock-in amplifier 113; the amplification and filtering circuit 110 amplifies the output voltage and filters out noise and interference far away from the modulation frequency, the frequency conversion circuit 111 up-converts the modulation signal frequency to the narrow-band filter 112, the narrow-band filter 112 filters out noise and interference very close to the modulation frequency, and the lock-in amplifier 113 further suppresses noise while demodulating the modulation signal into a direct current signal representing the amplitude of the modulation signal, which is sent to the computer 114. The frequency control 117 of the frequency conversion signal 108 is generated by the computer 114. After the above-mentioned noise signal processing and demodulation circuit 115, the noise and interference are well suppressed, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio and the resolution of the electric field.
[0057] The metal mesh 102 is placed in front of the measuring electrode 104 and together with the measuring electrode 104 in the shield, and the electronic switch 106 is connected to the metal mesh 102 and the shield 103 respectively, as shown in Figure 2 . The measuring electrode uses stable inert silver or carbon fiber electrode material, and the metal mesh and the shield use titanium alloy or navy copper metal material resistant to seawater corrosion. When the switch is off, the seawater electric field can reach the measuring electrode through the opening of the shield and the metal mesh, and the metal mesh hardly attenuates the electric field; when the switch is on, the metal mesh and the shield are short-circuited, the opening of the shield is filled with the metal mesh, and the ocean electric field is blocked, thereby realizing the modulation of the ocean electric field signal.
[0058] Seawater is conductive, and the electric field propagation can be equivalent to the parallel connection of resistors R0, R1, R2 and R3 and capacitors C0, C1, C2 and C3, as shown in Figure 3 . The metal mesh is controlled by the switch S1 to modulate the electric field. The measuring electrode can be equivalent to the series-parallel connection of resistors R Sl , R ctl and C ctl , R mTo measure the resistance between the measuring electrodes and the shield, matching is necessary to achieve the maximum signal output from the measuring electrodes. Since the equivalent circuit after the electric field passes through the measuring electrodes consists of several resistors and capacitors in parallel, matching requires connecting an inductive element to the load. Considering the low resistance of seawater and the very high impedance of the load, impedance transformation is also necessary. Therefore, a transformer is introduced, and a capacitor C is connected to the output. L This matching circuit ensures that the primary and secondary circuits of the transformer resonate at the same frequency, and that the equivalent resistances of the primary and secondary circuits are the same at the resonant frequency. This achieves conjugate impedance matching. At this point, the measuring electrodes obtain the maximum output voltage and power, and the signal-to-noise ratio is also improved.
[0059] The amplifier uses a traditional low-noise amplifier circuit, and the filter uses a traditional multi-stage bandpass filter. However, due to the imperfect performance of bandpass filters, even multi-stage bandpass filters struggle to effectively suppress noise signals close to the frequency of the electric field modulation signal. Therefore, a narrowband filter is added, employing a bulk acoustic wave (FBAR) filter. This ensures that only signals very close to the resonant frequency pass through by cascading one or more FBAR filters with identical resonant frequencies. Figure 4 As shown. Where Z in and Z out These are the input impedance and output impedance, respectively. These values are typically very large and do not affect the input and output characteristics. Alternatively, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter can be used for narrowband filters, such as... Figure 7 As shown, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter consists of two interdigital transducers built on a piezoelectric substrate. The transmitting and receiving interdigital transducers are identical. The transmitted SAW wave is transmitted to the receiving interdigital transducer to obtain a signal with a very narrow bandwidth, typically in the range of tens to hundreds of MHz, which can effectively filter out various noises.
[0060] Since the frequency of the seawater modulated electric field signal cannot be the same as the frequency of the acoustic filter, a frequency converter circuit is needed to transform the frequency of the modulated signal to the resonant frequency of the bulk acoustic filter, thereby achieving narrowband filtering. The up-conversion effect can be achieved using a traditional multiplier and bandpass filter, such as... Figure 5 As shown. The input signal is the amplified and filtered signal after modulation by the seawater electric field, with a frequency of f0. The frequency control signal is a high-frequency signal with a frequency of f. S After passing through the multiplier, the new signal includes the sum and difference of the harmonic frequencies of the two signals. By setting an appropriate bandpass filter, the sum-frequency signal (f) of the two signals can be obtained. S +f0), here is the bandpass filter, which is Figure 4 A narrowband filter is formed by cascading one or more acoustic filters with identical resonant frequencies.
[0061] To further reduce the impact of various noise signals in the ocean on measurement resolution, a lock-in amplifier with narrowband filtering is used to improve the signal-to-weight ratio, and the modulated signal is demodulated, such as... Figure 6 As shown. Input signal V i The signal is an up-converted signal with a frequency of f. S +f0, after being amplified, is fed into multipliers 1 and 2 respectively. The control signal frequency is the same as the input signal, also f. S +f0, after passing through the quadrature pulse generation circuit, generates quadrature pulse signals and in-phase pulse signals respectively. These are multiplied by multipliers 1 and 2, respectively, and then passed through low-pass filters 1 and 2 to obtain two quadrature signals. After passing through the square root operation circuit, a DC signal related only to the amplitude of the input signal is obtained, thus achieving demodulation of the input signal. Here, the lock-in amplifier is also a narrowband filter circuit, further improving the signal-to-noise ratio. The output of the lock-in amplifier is converted by a computer A / D converter to send the measured seawater electric field amplitude to the computer.
[0062] The computer outputs a modulation control signal, which turns on the electronic switch 106, thereby modulating the seawater electric field. Figure 1 As shown. The control signal frequency is f0-f1, where f1 is the input seawater signal frequency. Since f0 >> f1, the control signal frequency is approximately f0. Simultaneously, the computer generates a frequency control signal for the frequency converter circuit, adjusting the modulation signal frequency to the resonant frequency of the narrowband filter to suppress various noises, thereby detecting weak electric field signals.
