Questions and Answers

What is the primary material used in piezoelectric devices for motion sensing?

  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • PZT (correct)
  • Steel

Capacitor plate sensors can detect movements above 0.4 Hz.

False (B)

What is the principle of operation of a capacitor plate sensor?

The movement of the plate induces a phase difference at the phase sensitive detector, which is converted to a DC voltage output that depends on the position of the moving plate.

Study Notes

Motion Sensors

  • Capacitor plate sensor: consists of a moving plate attached to a moving object and fixed plates connected to a transformer supplied with AC voltage.
  • Operation: movement of plate induces a phase difference at the phase sensitive detector, which is converted to a DC voltage output that depends on the position of the moving plate.
  • Limitations: only works for movements 0.4 Hz for inactive, walking, and running states.

Types of Motion Sensors

  • Inductive sensors
  • LVDT accelerometer systems
  • Rotation sensors
  • Piezoelectric devices for motion sensing
  • Hall effect based speed sensor

Piezoelectric Devices

  • Material: PZT (high piezo charge constant, electromechanical coupling coefficient)
  • Application: motion sensing

Advanced Motion Sensors

  • Ultra-flexible nanofiber-based multifunctional motion sensor
