Electrostatic voltage is a vital parameter in industrial production lines, for reducing electrostatic discharge harms and improving yields. Due to such drawbacks as package shielding and low resolution, previously reported electric field microsensors are still not applicable for industrial static monitoring uses. In this paper, we introduce a newly designed microsensor package structure, which enhances the field strength inside the package cavity remarkably. This magnification effect was studied and optimized by both theoretical calculation and ANSYS simulation. By means of the digital synthesizer and digital coherent demodulation method, the compact signal processing circuit for the packaged microsensor was also developed. The meter prototype was calibrated above a charged metal plate, and the electric field resolution was 5 V/m, while the measuring error was less than 3 V, from −1 kV to 1 kV in a 2 cm distance. The meter was also installed into a production line and showed good consistency with, and better resolution than, a traditional vibratory capacitance sensor.

The working principle of ring capacitance sensor is introduced, that is capacitance fringe effect. Finite element model is established through the Hybrid-Trefftz algorithm. Electric field analysis and simulation calculation of different sensor model are done with the finite element software ANSYS, and the optimal structure combination is obtained. And followed the example of optimal structure, the relation of dielectric constant and electric field intensity were given. The result of simulation shows the most direct and the most important two parameters that affect the sensor performance in the design of the ring capacitance sensor are the two electrodes spacing and the length. The dielectric constant of measured medium is smaller, the intensity of electric field intensity is greater. The simulation for subsequent product design has a good theoretical guidance.

Signal processing circuits are proposed for the electric field type time grating sensors. The proposed design scheme integrates sampling function and processing function into a signal field programmable gate array (FPGA) based on system on programmable chip (SOPC) technology. Employing NiosII technology and adding self-defined instructions improve data processing speed for time grating sensors. The proposed signal processing circuits are simple and stabile. The proposed signal processing circuits are applied to electric field type linear time grating sensors, the experiments results that the peak-to peak measuring error is 0.3um within 200mm without any corrections.


In a paper on “The Motion of Electrons in Gases,” by Prof. Townsend and Mr. Tizard* it was shown how, by measuring the lateral diffusion of a stream of electrons in an electric field, it is possible to find k the factor by which the energy of agitation of the electrons exceeds that of the surrounding molecules. The ions come at a uniform rate through a slit S of width 2 a in a large metal plate A, and traverse a distance c in the direction of an electric force Z. The plane of the plate A may be taken as that of xy , the origin of co-ordinates being the centre of the slit which latter is taken parallel to the axis of y . The ions are received on three insulated electrodes, c 1 c 2 , C 3 , which were portions of a disc of diameter 7 cm., c 2 being a narrow strip 5 mm. wide, cut from the centre of the disc and insulated by narrow air gaps from the two electrodes, c 1 c 3 , on each side of it. The electric field between A and the electrodes C was maintained constant by a series of rings of diameter 7 cm., kept at uniformly decreasing potentials. In this case the differential equation giving the distribution n of electrons in the electric field is ∇ 2 n = 41 Z/ k . ∂ n /∂ z . If q is defined to be ∫ ndy , this equation becomes ∂ 2 q /∂ x 2 + ∂ 2 q /∂ z 2 = 41 Z/ k . ∂ q /∂ z . If n 1 n 2 , n 3 are the charges received by the electrodes c 1 , c 2 , c 3 , it is shown that the values of Z/ k can be found by determining the ratio R = n 2 /( n 1 + n 2 + n 3 ), i . e . the value of k corresponding to any Z can be found. Experiments had previously been performed in which a circular stream of ions was collected on concentric circular electrodes, and from the results it appeared that the term ∂ 2 n /∂ z 2 was small compared with the others. By neglecting this term, Prof. Townsend obtained a solution of the differential equation in a simple form and plotted a curve with co-ordinates R and Z/ k .

This paper presents a new method for strong background noise of known frequency signal estimation method is then applied to the demodulated digital FM signal. This new method only needs to know the frequency of the demodulated carrier signal phase information without the need to complete the digital FM demodulation signal. Computer simulations show that the method has more than non-coherent demodulation noise immunity, and has a very strong ability of anti-phase fluctuations. Thus, the demodulation method has good prospects for engineering applications.
