Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of low-noise control technology for testing quality of space inertial sensors, specifically relating to an electrostatic drive system for space inertial sensors and a method for suppressing voltage reference noise in the electrostatic drive system. Background Technology

[0002] The space inertial sensor is one of the core payloads of the space gravitational wave detection satellite. The test mass (TM), as a key component, serves as the reflector of the high-precision inter-satellite laser interferometer, providing an inertial reference for laser interferometry-based gravitational wave detection. When a gravitational wave arrives, it causes a minute displacement between the test masses, resulting in a subtle change in the optical path of the laser interferometer, which can then be used to detect the gravitational wave. Based on this principle, the test mass needs to remain relatively stationary with respect to the spacecraft and be in an ideal free-fall state free from external non-conservative forces. Due to various interferences in the space environment and within the spacecraft, a drag-free control of the test mass is required via an electrostatic drive system to maintain relative stationary position between the test mass and the spacecraft.

[0003] The electrostatic drive system of a space inertial sensor mainly includes a voltage reference (REF), an FPGA controller, a DAC module, a digital-to-analog converter (DVA), and a low-pass filter (LPF). The voltage reference, as the primary source of noise in the drive circuit, significantly affects the stability of the actuator's drive circuit output voltage after its output noise is propagated through the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and drive voltage amplifier (DVA), thereby reducing the accuracy of space inertial sensor measurements and the accuracy of quality control. Furthermore, the target of space gravitational wave detection is concentrated in the millihertz frequency band, and electrical noise in the low-frequency range of the electrostatic drive system at the millihertz level will have a significant negative impact on the detection results. Therefore, to ensure the reliability of the electrostatic control system, suppressing the voltage noise of the voltage reference output in the millihertz frequency band is particularly important.

[0004] The literature (Halloin H, Prat P, Brossard J. Long term characterization of voltage references[J]. arXiv preprint arXiv:1312.5101, 2013.) tested the point noise characteristics of some voltage reference chips in the millihertz-level operating frequency band of space inertial sensors. However, the literature only tested the output noise and did not provide a method for suppressing voltage reference noise in the millihertz-level operating frequency band.

[0005] Patent application (CN207198708U) discloses a voltage reference source with noise suppression capability. The voltage reference source includes n voltage references, an adder, and an output unit. The output terminals of the n voltage references are connected to the input terminals of the adder, and the adder is used to sum the voltages of the n voltage references. The output of the adder is connected to the input of the output unit, and the output unit performs voltage division and filtering on the voltage summation result to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the voltage references. However, it still cannot comprehensively suppress the inherent noise, temperature drift noise, and load regulation noise of the voltage references, resulting in a relatively limited noise reduction effect, and it lacks analysis of the noise reduction mechanism.

[0006] In summary, in order to address the problem that existing voltage reference noise suppression methods cannot comprehensively suppress the inherent noise, temperature drift noise, and load regulation noise of the voltage reference, a new voltage reference noise suppression method is proposed, which is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing methods cannot comprehensively suppress the inherent noise, temperature drift noise, and load regulation noise of a voltage reference. Therefore, this invention proposes an electrostatic drive system for space inertial sensors and a method for suppressing voltage reference noise in the electrostatic drive system, so as to achieve comprehensive noise suppression of the output of the electrostatic drive circuit in the millihertz frequency band.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0009] According to one aspect of the present invention, an electrostatic drive system for a space inertial sensor is provided, the electrostatic drive system comprising an external voltage source, a first voltage reference to an nth voltage reference, a buffer, a digital-to-analog converter, and a drive module; wherein:

[0010] The output terminal of the external voltage source is connected to the input terminals of the first voltage reference to the nth voltage reference, respectively;

[0011] The output terminals of the first voltage reference to the nth voltage reference are all connected to the input terminal of the buffer;

[0012] The output of the buffer is connected to the input of the digital-to-analog converter;

[0013] The output of the digital-to-analog converter is connected to the input of the driver module.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for suppressing voltage reference noise in an electrostatic drive system, the method specifically includes the following steps:

[0015] Step 1: Use the output signal of the external voltage source as the input of the voltage reference parallel structure, which is composed of the first voltage reference to the nth voltage reference connected in parallel;

[0016] Step 2: Use the output signal of the parallel voltage reference structure as the input of the buffer, where the buffer is an amplifier;

[0017] Step 3: Use the output signal of the buffer as the input of the driver module, and then use the output signal of the driver module as the drive signal output.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] This invention suppresses the inherent noise of voltage references in electrostatic drive systems by designing a parallel structure of multiple voltage references. Based on this parallel topology, the algebraic sum of the temperature coefficients of the multiple parallel voltage references is minimized. This ensures that the parallel structure formed by the multiple voltage references is a compensating structure with complementary positive and negative temperature coefficients, reducing the voltage references' sensitivity to ambient temperature and thus suppressing noise caused by temperature drift. Simultaneously, a differential buffer isolation structure is designed to suppress load regulation noise caused by the variable output of the DAC module and weaken voltage reference output fluctuations caused by load impedance changes. Compared with existing methods, this invention achieves comprehensive suppression of inherent noise, temperature drift noise, and load regulation noise, significantly improving noise reduction performance.

It can be seen that after adding a buffer, the output voltage fluctuation is significantly reduced.

[0093] in, , Indicates temperature difference. This represents the output voltage difference of the voltage reference.

[0094] The other steps and parameters are the same as in Specific Implementation Method Nine.

[0095] The noise reduction mechanism of this invention is analyzed below:

[0096] Since voltage references are multi-port active devices, their equivalent modeling must consider active characteristics and cannot simply use passive equivalent approximations. Considering that the focus is on suppressing low-frequency noise, the effects of internal parasitic capacitance and inductance are ignored, retaining only the main resistive characteristics. The equivalent circuit of a single voltage reference is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the area within the dashed box is a simplified equivalent model of the voltage reference;

[0097] Among them, R ieq and R oeq These are the input and output resistances of the voltage reference, respectively, V i V is the input voltage. out For the output voltage, R loadFor external load resistance, V s A controlled voltage source, which is influenced by factors such as output current and input voltage, can be further expressed as:

[0098] (1)

[0099] in, e represents the proportionality coefficient between the output voltage and the input voltage. in This represents the inherent noise within the voltage reference, V. ed This indicates voltage fluctuations caused by two types of external disturbances: temperature drift and load regulation.

[0100] By modeling the equivalent circuit of the voltage reference and analyzing the millihertz frequency band of interest to space inertial sensors, it was found that the inherent noise of the voltage reference in this frequency region mainly includes thermal noise, shot noise, and flicker noise. Thermal noise and shot noise are white noise, and their noise power is roughly uniform across the frequency range. However, the noise power of flicker noise increases with decreasing frequency, exhibiting... Features, among which, The value is generally between 0.8 and 1.3. For external disturbance noise other than the inherent noise of the voltage reference, the temperature drift noise and load regulation noise with the most significant noise amplitude are selected.

[0101] To address inherent noise, temperature drift noise, and load regulation noise, this invention proposes three noise suppression methods: parallel connection of multiple voltage references, temperature coefficient compensation, and buffer isolation. The overall scheme block diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0102] (1) Inherent noise suppression:

[0103] If the nominal output voltage of the voltage reference is V nom If the actual output random noise component is e(t), then the output voltage can be expressed as:

[0104] (2)

[0105] The noise level in the millihertz band is quantized using the power noise spectral density (NSD) output from a voltage reference; the noise is numerically equal to the square root of the noise power spectral density. According to the Wiener-Khinchin theorem, its power spectral density... It can be represented as:

[0106] (3)

[0107] The autocorrelation function representing voltage noise. It is the imaginary unit. Since it is an unbiased estimation function, the noise power spectral density and the variance of the noise components satisfy the following relationship:

[0108] (4)

[0109] As can be seen from formula (4), the larger the variance of the output voltage noise, the higher the overall noise power. Therefore, from a probabilistic and statistical perspective, variance can be used to measure noise intensity, which provides a theoretical basis for subsequent quantization noise reduction strategies.

[0110] In practical applications, it is assumed that the noise processes of each voltage reference are independent when multiple reference sources are connected in parallel. When n identical and independent voltage references are connected in parallel, according to formula (2), the output of each voltage reference can be expressed as:

[0111] (5)

[0112] In formula (5) As an independent random noise process, and in formula (2) They have the same statistical properties.

[0113] When n identical and independent voltage references are connected in parallel, the total output voltage can be equivalent to the arithmetic mean of the output voltages of each branch. If the nominal output voltage of each voltage reference is V... nom Then the output voltage of n voltage references connected in parallel can be expressed as:

[0114] (6)

[0115] According to formula (6), the voltage noise after parallel connection can be expressed as:

[0116] (7)

[0117] because As independent random noise, based on the properties of the autocorrelation function and formulas (3) and (7), the power noise density spectrum (NSD) of the output voltage noise after parallel connection is:

[0118] (8)

[0119] The same voltage reference has the same noise NSD, denoted as Then the NSD of n voltage references connected in parallel can be expressed as:

[0120] (9)

[0121] According to formula (9), the output voltage noise NSD after n voltage references are connected in parallel can be reduced to 1 / n of that of a single voltage reference. Furthermore, according to formula (4), the variance is also reduced to 1 / n of that of a single voltage reference. Therefore, the voltage noise NSD is suppressed to its original value. .

[0122] In summary, the inherent noise of voltage references can be reduced by connecting multiple voltage references in parallel.

[0123] (2) Temperature drift noise

[0124] Thermal noise in a voltage reference is caused by ambient temperature fluctuations. The temperature coefficient (TC) of the voltage reference describes the sensitivity of the output voltage to temperature changes. If the voltage reference has a positive temperature coefficient, the output voltage increases with increasing temperature; conversely, if it has a negative temperature coefficient, the output voltage decreases with increasing temperature. The relationship between temperature disturbances in a single voltage reference and output voltage fluctuations is as follows:

[0125] (10)

[0126] in, This indicates the output voltage fluctuation caused by temperature drift, expressed in parts per million per degree Celsius (ppm / °C). This indicates the temperature disturbance amplitude of the reference chip. The temperature coefficient of the voltage reference.

[0127] According to formula (10), due to the output voltage For a fixed value, the typical operating scenario of the drive circuit The range is also defined, while the temperature coefficient... The value is taken within a certain range. Therefore, this invention starts with the temperature coefficient to reduce the noise caused by temperature drift.

[0128] like Figure 3 As shown, to illustrate the temperature drift noise suppression mechanism, a model is established as follows: Figure 3 The voltage reference parallel topology shown in (a) can, according to the parallel equivalence principle, be used to... Figure 3 The circuit in (a) is equivalent to: Figure 3 The circuit in (b) shows that when two voltage references are connected in parallel, the noise of the voltage references is decomposed into the inherent noise E. t1 and E t2 and changes in ambient temperature Reference voltage fluctuation at time and ;

[0129] Among them, E t1 and E t2 This represents two independent random noise sources, which are only related to their inherent internal noise. and Only related to temperature It is related to the temperature coefficient TC but independent of it.

[0130] Because it is equivalent to Figure 3 After the series connection in (b), the total output voltage is twice the single reference voltage. During observation, the output voltage should remain constant, and the total external resistance should also remain constant. Therefore, a value of R is used. Laod The resistor is divided into two values, R. Load A resistor of 2 / 3 is used for voltage division. Based on the equivalent circuit, the voltage fluctuation after parallel connection... for:

[0131] (11)

[0132] Extending this to a system with n voltage references connected in parallel, the output voltage fluctuation of the parallel system can be calculated. :

[0133] (12)

[0134] As can be seen from formula (12), when the output voltage of the voltage reference is the same, the smaller the algebraic sum of the temperature coefficients of the parallel chips, the smaller the temperature correlation of the parallel system, and the smaller the low-frequency noise caused by temperature. Theoretically, when the algebraic sum is zero, the parallel system will exhibit the characteristic that the output voltage is independent of temperature disturbance, thereby suppressing the temperature drift noise of the voltage reference and achieving the purpose of reducing temperature drift noise under temperature disturbance environment.

[0135] Therefore, connecting a voltage reference with a positive temperature coefficient and a voltage reference with a negative temperature coefficient in parallel can reduce the coupling between the voltage output and the ambient temperature, while also reducing inherent noise. According to the principles of parallel connection, after the voltage references are connected in parallel, the total output noise power of the circuit equals the sum of the noise power of each voltage reference, and the internal resistance equals the original internal resistance in parallel. Therefore, the final output noise density... for:

[0136] (13)

[0137] in, This represents the temperature dependence factor; for voltage references with a positive temperature coefficient, For voltage references with negative temperature coefficients, Due to the equivalent internal resistance R of the voltage reference eq Much smaller than the equivalent resistance R Load Therefore, the above formula can be simplified to:

[0138] (14)

[0139] When the temperature is stable and It is zero because of the inherent internal noise E of the same voltage reference. t1 With E t2 They are approximately equal, therefore the final output voltage noise is:

[0140] (15)

[0141] Therefore, when a parallel reference chip with a TC algebraic sum of 0 is selected, temperature drift noise can theoretically be eliminated.

[0142] (3) Load regulation noise

[0143] Load regulation noise is caused by load variations in the voltage reference back-end circuitry, and the load regulation rate (LR) is a factor. I This reflects the coupling relationship between the voltage reference output voltage and the load current, which can be expressed as:

[0144] (16)

[0145] Among them, load regulation rate LR I For a given voltage reference, ∆E is a constant. I This indicates the magnitude of the output voltage fluctuation caused by the load. The change in load current due to the change in the DAC input impedance results in the following output voltage fluctuation:

[0146] (17)

[0147] in, Indicates the amplification factor of the DVA circuit. Indicates the number of bits in the DAC. This represents the DAC amplitude control word. According to formula (17), the input impedance of the DAC voltage reference pin fluctuates, which will lead to increased voltage noise. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the voltage fluctuation caused by load disturbances to reduce the noise caused by complex regulation.

[0148] Load regulation noise suppression methods based on differential buffer isolation structures, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a precision operational amplifier with extremely low noise and bias current input is used as a buffer. Its high input impedance characteristic reduces the current consumption of the voltage reference. The stronger current carrying capacity of the operational amplifier provides a stronger driving capability for the DAC reference input pin, suppressing the current fluctuation of the voltage reference and achieving the purpose of suppressing the load regulation noise of the voltage reference.

[0149] Experimental Section

[0150] like Figure 5The figure shows the noise suppression effect of four voltage references in parallel versus a traditional single voltage reference. The voltage noise at 1 MHz is as follows: and The parallel scheme reduced the noise level by 33%.

[0151] like Figure 6 The figure shows a comparison of the noise suppression performance between a temperature-compensated dual-voltage-reference parallel system and a traditional single-voltage-reference system. The voltage noise levels at 1 MHz are respectively... and The parallel scheme reduced the noise level by 89%.

The voltage noise levels at 1 MHz are respectively... and The parallel scheme reduced the noise level by 37%.
