Dynamic calibration method of high-pressure transducer based on quasi-δ function excitation source

Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic calibration method of frequency response characteristics of high-pressure sensor. In this method, the pressure sensor was under high hydrostatic pressure in advance, then use the bullet impacted Hopkinson bar and generated quasi-δ function signal with small amplitude, which excited the sensor being calibrated. The excitation signal of sensor are collected, at the same time, output signal of the sensor are collected, and at last, the collected data are processed according to calibration principle and calculated the frequency response of the sensor being calibrated. This calibration method realized dynamic calibration of high pressure sensor under actual working pressure; it can realize the low limit frequency of the calibrated frequency range strictly reaches to zero frequency. This method can also be applied to acceleration sensor, transient high-temperature sensor, and other types of sensors. In this paper, the calibration principle of quasi-δ function dynamic calibration method is introduced. The relationship among pulse width of excitation signal, frequency range that can be calibrated and calibration precision is analyzed. The experimental results are also shown.
