EXPANDING THE BANDWIDTH OF A SEISMIC SENSOR

Abstract

If we reduce technologically the frequency of natural oscillations of the pendulum of a seismic sensor below 1 Hz, then its performance characteristics become unacceptable. It is shown that by adjusting of the transfer function of the seismic sensor by the transfer functions of the typical dynamic units, a horizontal platform can be obtained in the low frequency region of the amplitude-frequency characteristic. An equation of a proportional-integral-differential controller in a discrete form is proposed in which a feedback signal is calculated using the STM32 microcontroller. Application of the modern microcontrollers to generate a feedback signal allows to flexibly adjust the frequency response of a seismic sensor by directly selecting weight factors, as well as making it remotely tuned. Such a solution combined with the proposed optical method of converting mechanical vibrations into electric allows achieving a high degree of miniaturization of the oscillatory system and obtaining a high level of signal-to-noise ratio of the hardware part.
