Electrostatic suspended accelerometers (ESAs) are widely used in high accuracy acceleration measurement. However, there exist accumulated charges on the isolated mass which damage the accuracy and the stability of ESAs. In this paper, we propose to apply actuation voltage with a combined waveform to suppress the acceleration noise due to deposited charge. A model of the electrostatic force on the mass is established and the deviation voltage is found to be the dominant source of charge noise. Based on the analysis of disturbance electrostatic force under DC and AC signals, actuation combined with DC and AC voltage is designed and the disturbance force due to charge can be suppressed through adjustment towards the duty cycle of different compositions. Simulations and experiments are carried out and the results indicate that the disturbance due to charge can be suppressed up to 40%, which validates the efficiency of the scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
