Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method and its measuring device, particularly a broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method and its measuring device based on symmetric differential demodulation. Background Technology
[0002] Piezoelectric, optomechanical, and microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers have wide applications in earthquake early warning, civil structure health monitoring, track and machinery health monitoring, and medical diagnostics. In these applications, the accelerometer's sensitivity is considered a precisely known value, directly determining the validity of its measurement data. To ensure performance in these applications, the accelerometer must be accurately calibrated. Therefore, developing a suitable vibration calibration method to determine the accelerometer's sensitivity over a wide frequency range is particularly important.
[0003] Currently, the laser interferometry (LI) method recommended by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the preferred method for accelerometer calibration. Depending on the interferometer used, laser interferometry can be divided into two types: null-difference laser interferometer (MLI) and heterodyne laser interferometer (TLI). MLI uses two mutually orthogonal signals containing the excitation displacement to calibrate the accelerometer, achieving relatively high accuracy over a wide frequency range, with its low-frequency range easily below 1 Hz. Compared to MLI, TLI uses a laser interferometric signal with a high carrier frequency to measure the excitation displacement, offering advantages such as high displacement measurement accuracy, wide dynamic range, and low nonlinearity, making it increasingly widely used in broadband vibration calibration. In the past two years, TLI has been gradually applied to the calibration of digital accelerometers, achieving scaling factor and phase shift calibration accuracies as high as 0.2% and 0.1°, respectively. Although TLI can perform vibration calibration over a wide frequency range, its calibration accuracy and frequency range are often contradictory. The calibration performance of TLI depends on its excitation measurement accuracy, which is related to the acquisition and demodulation of the heterodyne laser interferometric signal. Currently, commonly used data acquisition methods include Nyquist sampling (NS), bandpass sampling (BPS), and mixer-and-low-pass filter sampling (MLPFS). The NS method is easy to implement for high-precision high-frequency vibration calibration, but its frequency range is limited. While the BPS method can achieve wideband calibration without any additional analog equipment, it requires complex sampling rate calculation methods and a dedicated acquisition card. The MLPFS method utilizes analog equipment to perform wideband vibration calibration, offering a suitable balance of accuracy and efficiency. However, when the frequency exceeds 5kHz, its sensitivity and phase are significantly affected by the analog low-pass filter. Furthermore, the phase expansion and sine approximation methods used for demodulation are optimal, as proven by multiple related publications.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the current accelerometer calibration methods, which suffer from complex calibration systems, poor flexibility, high costs, and limited measurement range, especially the inadequacy of sensitivity phase calibration at higher frequencies, has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method and its measurement device. This calibration method, by incorporating symmetrical differential demodulation technology, enables calibration frequencies below 1 Hz to reach tens of kHz. Compared with many current mainstream calibration methods, the studied method exhibits better overall performance in terms of calibration accuracy, efficiency, and frequency range.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is a broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method, which mainly includes: first, using a vibration table to provide vibration excitation of a specific amplitude within a wide frequency range to the accelerometer under test, and using a heterodyne laser interferometer to measure the excitation acceleration of the accelerometer under test; second, using two identical types of analog mixers and low-pass filters to transform the original laser interference signal and reference signal into a low-carrier-frequency interference signal and a low-frequency reference signal, respectively; then, using a data acquisition card to simultaneously acquire the transformed interference signal, reference signal, and output signal of the accelerometer under test, and processing them to obtain the excitation acceleration of the accelerometer under test; finally, by calculating the amplitude and initial phase of the excitation acceleration and output signal, the sensitivity amplitude and phase of the accelerometer under test are determined.
[0007] In the aforementioned broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method, the measurement method includes the following steps:
[0008] S1: The accelerometer under test is fastened to the center of the worktable surface of the vibration table. The accelerometer under test and the worktable surface have the same excitation. The laser beam of the heterodyne laser interferometer, which can simultaneously and directly output the original laser interference signal and the reference signal, is vertically focused on the center of the surface of the accelerometer under test to measure the excitation acceleration of the accelerometer under test.
[0009] S2: The original laser interference signal and reference signal generated by the heterodyne laser interferometer are transformed into a low-carrier frequency interference signal and a low-frequency reference signal by two identical types of analog mixers and low-pass filters, respectively.
[0010] S3: Use a data acquisition card to acquire the transformed low-carrier frequency interference signal, low-frequency reference signal, and output signal of the accelerometer under test, and process them to obtain the excitation acceleration of the accelerometer under test.
[0011] S4: By combining the calculated excitation acceleration and the amplitude and initial phase of the output signal, the sensitivity amplitude and phase of the accelerometer under test are obtained.
[0012] In the aforementioned broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method, the vibration table can provide the accelerometer under test with vibration excitation of a specific amplitude within a wide frequency range. Since the vibration table is excited by a sinusoidal signal, the original laser signal U of the heterodyne laser interferometer... HRF (t) and reference signal U HREF (t) is:

[0017] U HRF The bandwidth of (t) depends on the corresponding excitation speed, which is typically much lower than f. c Therefore, an analog mixer and a low-pass filter are used to implement U. HRF (t) and U HREF The downconversion of (t) is performed to significantly reduce the required sampling rate.
[0018] In the aforementioned broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method, the low carrier frequency interference signal U LRF (t), low-frequency reference signal U LREF The signals V(t) and the output signal V(t) of the accelerometer under test are synchronously acquired by the data acquisition card, and can be expressed as:

It is the initial phase affected by the low-pass filter delay, V p and These are the amplitude and initial phase of V(t), where t is the amplitude and initial phase of V(t). j This is the sampling time, j = 1, 2, ..., N, where N is the number of samples;
[0021] f LO2 It can get infinitely close to f c This makes U LREF The frequency of (t) is much lower than the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter, therefore the low-pass filter has a lower frequency for U. LREF The time delay of (t) is negligible.
[0022] In the aforementioned broadband vibration calibration heterodyne laser interferometry method, the sensitivity calibration accuracy of the accelerometer under test depends on the measurement accuracy of the vibration excitation demodulated from the interference signal. This accuracy is related to the phase modulation of the sinusoidal excitation displacement from the collected interference signal. The acquisition of can be expressed as:
