Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of seismic signal acquisition, and in particular relates to a MEMS seismic acquisition system, method and equipment based on a dual-path alternating sampling technology. Background Art
[0002] In applications such as geological surveys and seismic data collection, it is often necessary to continuously and accurately monitor and record extremely weak seismic signals in order to analyze underground structures, stratum changes, or earthquake source characteristics. The noise level of the seismic data acquisition system directly affects the usability and accuracy of the data.
[0003] The noise level of the readout unit directly determines the performance of the MEMS seismic acquisition system. Designing and implementing a low-noise readout unit is a prerequisite for realizing a high-precision MEMS seismic acquisition system. The readout unit of an existing MEMS seismic acquisition system mainly consists of a preamplifier, a sample-and-hold circuit, a switch network, a timing unit, etc. Its design goal is to convert tiny displacement changes into a voltage signal of sufficient amplitude while suppressing various noises as much as possible in the process. Common noise suppression methods include chopper stabilization technology, auto-zero calibration, and correlated double sampling to eliminate 1 / f noise and offset voltage. Chopper stabilization technology separates signal and noise through frequency modulation, while auto-zero calibration and correlated double sampling technologies use feedback capacitors to correct offsets within different sampling time slots to achieve signal-to-noise separation.
[0004] However, in a single-channel readout unit, since there is only one signal path, its noise suppression capability is often insufficient, especially the inability to effectively eliminate switching noise, such as charge injection and clock feedthrough.
[0005] In addition, many existing designs use a pseudo-differential structure, which uses a fixed reference level on one side and signal sampling on the other side to achieve differential processing. However, this asymmetric method easily causes device matching mismatch, resulting in additional errors and dynamic imbalance, reducing the overall accuracy of the system.
[0006] To address these issues, it is urgent to improve the circuit structure. By using symmetrical dual-path and alternating sampling methods, fully differential signal processing and multi-level noise suppression can be achieved, thereby improving the measurement accuracy and reliability of MEMS seismic acquisition systems. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, namely, the problem that the single-channel readout unit of the existing MEMS seismic acquisition system has insufficient noise suppression capability (such as the inability to eliminate switching noise) and the device matching mismatch caused by the pseudo-differential structure, resulting in reduced system measurement accuracy and reliability, the present invention provides a MEMS seismic acquisition system, method and equipment based on dual-channel alternating sampling technology.
[0008] In a first aspect of the present invention, a MEMS seismic acquisition system based on a dual-channel alternating sampling technique is proposed, the system comprising: Seismic signal sensitive unit, used to sense external seismic signals and output corresponding displacement signals; a readout unit, configured to convert the displacement signal into a voltage signal and perform noise suppression through a dual-channel alternating sampling method; an analog-to-digital conversion unit, configured to convert an analog voltage signal into a digital signal; A digital signal processing unit, configured to process the digital signal and generate a final output signal and a feedback control signal; A feedback unit, configured to convert the feedback control signal into an analog quantity and feed the analog quantity back to the seismic signal sensitive unit to implement closed-loop control; The timing unit is used to control the alternating sampling of the dual channels and the switching of the circuit states according to the set timing.
[0009] Furthermore, the readout unit includes a storage module, a transducer module, a sampling and holding module and a differential amplifier module according to hardware functions; The readout unit is symmetrically provided with an A path and a B path. The A path and the B path alternately complete the storage, transduction and sampling and holding of the signal under the control of the timing unit, and finally perform differential processing on the signal through the differential amplifier module.
[0010] Furthermore, the A channel includes an A channel in-phase storage module, an A channel inverting storage module, an A channel transducer module, and an A channel sampling and holding module; the B channel includes a B channel in-phase storage module, a B channel inverting storage module, a B channel transducer module, and a B channel sampling and holding module; The A-path in-phase storage module is used to store the displacement signal, and the polarity of the stored displacement signal is the same as the output of the seismic signal sensitive unit; The A-path inverting storage module is used to store the displacement signal, and the polarity of the stored displacement signal is opposite to the output of the seismic signal sensitive unit; The B-path in-phase storage module is used to store the displacement signal, and the polarity of the stored displacement signal is the same as the output of the seismic signal sensitive unit; The B-path inverting storage module is used to store the displacement signal, and the polarity of the stored displacement signal is opposite to the output of the seismic signal sensitive unit; The operating windows of the A-path in-phase storage module, the A-path inverted storage module, the B-path in-phase storage module, and the B-path inverted storage module are non-overlapping under the control of the timing unit. Between the operating windows of the A-path in-phase storage module and the A-path inverted storage module, and the B-path in-phase storage module and the B-path inverted storage module, the reference voltage of the seismic signal sensitive unit is reversed, reversing the polarity of the displacement signal. Since the operating frequency of the readout unit is much larger than the noise bandwidth, the noise stored simultaneously with the signal in the in-phase storage module and the inverted storage module can be approximately considered equal. The A-channel transducer module and the B-channel transducer module are used to convert the displacement signal into the voltage domain with a double amplification factor in a differential manner, and to cancel out noise once by differential operation; The A channel sampling and holding module and the B channel sampling and holding module are used to sample and hold the transduced signal; The differential amplifier module is used to differentially amplify the outputs of the A-channel sampling and holding module and the B-channel sampling and holding module, so as to amplify the signal by two times and cancel the noise twice by differential operation, thereby further reducing the noise to a negligible high-order small amount.
[0011] Furthermore, the working cycle of the readout unit includes the following timing phases: Reset phase, used to ground each node of the circuit; The A channel storage phase and the B channel storage phase are used to store the displacement signals of the A channel and the B channel respectively; A channel signal transduction phase, used to calculate the difference between the displacement signals stored in the A channel in-phase storage module and the A channel inverted phase storage module, and convert the displacement signal into a voltage signal; The B channel signal transduction phase is used to calculate the difference between the displacement signals stored in the B channel in-phase storage module and the B channel inverse-phase storage module, and convert the displacement signal into a voltage signal; The sampling and holding phase of channel A and the sampling and holding phase of channel B respectively sample and hold the transduced signal; The differential amplification phase is used to differentially amplify the outputs of the A-channel sampling and holding module and the B-channel sampling and holding module and output them to the analog-to-digital conversion unit.
[0012] Furthermore, in the A-path storage phase and the B-path storage phase, the polarity of the reference voltage of the seismic signal sensitive unit is reversed once, so as to reverse the polarity of the displacement signal.
[0013] Furthermore, the A-channel transducer module and the B-channel transducer module each include: The two input terminals of the fully differential operational amplifier are connected to the differential output nodes of the seismic signal sensitive unit in a time-sharing manner under the control of the timing unit.
[0014] Furthermore, the seismic signal sensitive unit is a displacement sensitive MEMS sensor, and the displacement sensitive MEMS sensor at least includes a capacitive, piezoresistive, piezoelectric or optical interference structure.
[0015] In a second aspect of the present invention, a MEMS seismic acquisition method based on a dual-channel alternating sampling technique is proposed. The method comprises the following steps: Step S1, sensing an external seismic signal through a seismic signal sensitive unit, and outputting a displacement signal corresponding to the seismic signal; Step S2, collecting the displacement signal and noise through the readout unit, and performing noise suppression through a dual-channel alternating sampling method, performing differential amplification on the suppressed output signal, suppressing the noise again and amplifying the effective signal to obtain an analog voltage signal; Step S3, converting the analog voltage signal into a digital signal through an analog-to-digital conversion unit; Step S4, processing the digital signal by a digital signal processing unit to generate a final output signal and a feedback control signal; Step S5: converting the feedback control signal into an analog quantity through a feedback unit and feeding it back to the seismic signal sensitive unit to realize closed-loop control.
[0016] According to a third aspect of the present invention, an electronic device is provided, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to at least one of the processors; wherein, The memory stores instructions that can be executed by the processor, and the instructions are used to be executed by the processor to implement a MEMS seismic acquisition method based on a dual-channel alternating sampling technology.
[0017] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for being executed by the computer to implement a MEMS seismic acquisition method based on a dual-path alternating sampling technique.
[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention: Eliminating switching noise: Dual-channel alternating sampling technology enables time-interleaved signal acquisition and processing on two symmetrical signal paths. This allows switching noise, such as charge injection and clock feedthrough, to form common-mode components in the two differential outputs and be canceled out, significantly suppressing the noise superposition problem in single-channel sampling.
[0019] Resolving pseudo-differential structure mismatch errors: A symmetrical dual-path fully differential signal processing architecture is adopted, eliminating the fixed reference level design, making the two signal paths completely symmetrical. This eliminates the dynamic imbalance and additional offset errors caused by device mismatch from the circuit structure, thereby improving system accuracy.
[0020] Multi-level noise suppression capability: Combining fully differential signal processing with an alternate sampling mechanism, this technology suppresses residual noise in the signal path. This directly addresses the shortcomings of single-channel readout units in existing technologies, enhancing weak signal resolution capabilities. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
