Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of various measurement systems of aircraft and spacecraft, and in particular to a low-cost LVDT excitation source generating circuit. Background Art

[0002] Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) is a linear displacement sensor, which mainly consists of an excitation coil and two fixed receiving coils. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction and has the advantages of high precision, non-contact measurement, good linearity and stability. It is suitable for occasions that require precise displacement measurement.

[0003] The performance of traditional LVDT has high requirements on the quality of the excitation signal, and it has a complex structure and high cost, so it is not suitable for cost-sensitive applications. The digital processing method and device of the LVDT displacement sensor disclosed in patent CN201510849802.4 uses square waves as the excitation source of the LVDT. Through the inductive effect and low-pass filter characteristics of the LVDT sensor, the high-frequency components in the square wave will be filtered out, thereby forming an effective excitation response. Although the square wave as an excitation source simplifies the circuit design, it contains multiple frequency components and may affect the stability of some high-precision occasions, especially for applications that require precise frequency control. Patent CN202410833849.0 discloses an LVDT displacement sensor excitation generation and demodulation circuit, which feeds back and adjusts the excitation signal through a frequency calibration circuit to ensure that the excitation signal remains within the ±1% range of the LVDT operating frequency, and uses a threshold comparison method to extract the frequency of the excitation signal. The DSP control, frequency calibration circuit and multi-stage signal processing circuit design involved are relatively complex, which increases the complexity and cost of the system and is not suitable for cost-sensitive applications.
