Abstract

Dynamic calibration is one of the important ways to acquire the dynamic performance parameters of a pressure sensor. This research focuses on the processing method for the output of calibrated pressure sensor, and mainly attempts to solve the problem of extracting the true information of step response under strong interference noise. A dynamic calibration system based on a shock tube is established to excite the time-domain response signal of a calibrated pressure sensor. A key processing on difference modeling is applied for the obtained signal, and several generating sequences are established. A fusion process for the generating sequences is then undertaken, and the true information of the step response of the calibrated pressure sensor can be obtained. Finally, by implementing the common QR decomposition method to deal with the true information, a dynamic model characterizing the dynamic performance of the calibrated pressure sensor is established. A typical pressure sensor was used to perform calibration tests and a frequency-domain experiment for the sensor was also conducted. Results show that the proposed method could effectively filter strong interference noise in the output of the sensor and the corresponding dynamic model could effectively characterize the dynamic performance of the pressure sensor.

Summary

Introduction

Pressure sensors have been widely used to measure dynamic pressure signals in intelligent control, wind tunnel test, flight test, and so on [1]. The rising time of rapid on-off valves is about 20 μs [3], which makes it impossible for the pressure sensor whose dynamic response is high. The degree of waveform distortion of the sinusoidal pressure generator increases greatly in high calibrating frequency. These characteristics make the sinusoidal pressure generator only possible for dynamic calibration with low frequency and small-scale pressure sensor [3]. The rising time of step pressure produced by a shock tube can be controlled less than 0.1 μs, which can be regarded as the standard input signal of dynamic calibration. The above three characteristics make the shock tube widely used in the field of dynamic calibration of pressure sensor
