Noise assisted high performance linear inductive distance sensor

Zoltán Pólik Zoltán Kántor

Publication Name: Przeglad Elektrotechniczny

Publication Date: 2014-12-01

Volume: 2014

Issue: 12

Page Range: 123-126

Description:

A temperature compensated linear inductive distance sensor assisted by added noise is demonstrated. The mixed signal processing algorithm performs an effective interpolation over a low-resolution two-dimensional calibration table addressed directly by the digitized noise-affected signals of distance and temperature sensing modules without further arithmetic operations. The table entries are directly passed to the output digital-to-analog converter. The output noise will be cancelled by the intrinsic low-pass behavior of the power output stage. The operation distance, the linearity parameters, as well as the performance of the sensor exceed the standard of the respective industrial products.

Finite element modeling and identification of metallic materials step responses

Zoltán Pólik Zoltán Kántor

Publication Name: COMPEL the International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Publication Date: 2014-01-01

Volume: 33

Issue: 6

Page Range: 1920-1934

Description:

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to study the optimization of a pulsed-excitation gradiometric inductive sensing system. Design/methodology/approach - The authors applied numerical finite-element modeling for the simulation of the step responses of different target materials to identify the particular contribution of the magnetic permeability and the electric conductivity. Four materials of technical importance (aluminum, copper, constructional steel and stainless steel) and four fictive test materials were modeled for the comparison of different materials possessing a wide range of combinations of material parameters. A microcontroller-based measurement setup was implemented for the qualitative validation of the simulation results. A simple signal processing chain was also applied for the time-domain conversion of the direct step response signals to increase the time scale of the signals to be processed by common mixed-signal components. Findings - The step response signals contain relevant information of the target material quality and the sensor-to-target distance. The target materials can be distinguished and the sensor-target distance can be determined by the evaluation of the step response signals with an appropriate algorithm based on the measurement of the time and voltage of an extreme of the time dependent measurement signals. Both direct and time-domain converted signals can be used for material independent proximity sensing. Originality/value - In order to design an inductive proximity switch, an evaluation method of the response signals has been proposed by using an analog RLC circuit. With the presented method, a target material invariant inductive proximity switch can be realized.

Fractal based wire antenna impedance simulation by the method of moments

Miklós Kuczmann Zoltán Pólik

Publication Name: Pollack Periodica

Publication Date: 2012-07-01

Volume: 7

Issue: 2

Page Range: 69-81

Description:

Koch curve based dipole antennas have been built up, have been simulated and measured to examine the reachable size reduction.The simulations have been performed by the method of moments (MoM) and the results have been checked by the finite element method (FEM) and by measurements. The Pocklington' integral equation has been implemented in MATLAB environment to simulate the input impedance of dipole antennas. The ATW EFIE method has been implemented and solved by the 4NEC2 software to examine the behavior of arbitrary shaped thin wire antennas. In COMSOL Multiphysics software environment a finite element model has been set up to solve the Helmholtz equation and to simulate the antennas under examination. Koch curve based dipole antennas have been measured in a full anechoic chamber, as well and finally the numerical and the experimental results have been compared.

Potential formulations for solving TEAM problem 27

Miklós Kuczmann Zoltán Pólik

Publication Name: Przeglad Elektrotechniczny

Publication Date: 2009-12-01

Volume: 85

Issue: 12

Page Range: 137-140

Description:

This paper presents a study of using two potential formulations-the A z.ast;-A formulation, and the T, Φ - Φ formulation-to solve the TEAM problem No. 27 (Eddy Current NDT and Deep Flaws). A procedure to determine arbitrary periodic excitation signal by using Fourier series will also be shown. The numerical results are compared with the experimental waveforms. The goal of this work is to find the more precise and the faster formulation and to approximate the response of a linear electromagnetic system, when the excitation is a periodic signal.

Finite element simulation and development of a radio frequency inductor

Miklós Kuczmann Zoltán Pólik

Publication Name: Pollack Periodica

Publication Date: 2009-08-01

Volume: 4

Issue: 2

Page Range: 25-36

Description:

The design of inductors is not an easy and cheap task considering the dimensions, the nominal value of inductance, the quality factor and the impedance of the component. Before the beginning of manufacturing a new type of inductors, a lot of trial components have to produce, have to measure and have to try out. Finite element modeling is a well-tried process to examine engineering products before manufacturing them. To reduce the cost and the time of the design process, in the paper a finite element model has been built up to simulate inductors. In the paper the model is presented, which is able to simulate the important attributes of the component, for example the inductance, the impedance and the quality factor. The comparison of the experimental and the simulated attributes of the inductor will also be shown. By using the built up model the development possibilities of the inductor have been examined through the modification of the winding.

Examination and development of a radio frequency inductor

Miklós Kuczmann Zoltán Pólik

Publication Name: Przeglad Elektrotechniczny

Publication Date: 2008-12-01

Volume: 84

Issue: 12

Page Range: 230-233

Description:

Nowadays, inductors can be found in almost every electrical and electronic product. These key components are needed to store electrical energy, select frequencies, and protect againist overvoltage and overcurrent. In the case of the inductors, which usually work in the range of radio frequency, the one of the most important attributes is the quality factor. The aim of the project is to increase the Q-factor of an RF SMT inductor and to favour the industrial research and development about inductors by using the finite element method.

Measuring and control the hysteresis loop by using analog and digital integrators

Miklós Kuczmann Zoltán Pólik

Publication Name: Journal of Optoelectronics and Advanced Materials

Publication Date: 2008-01-01

Volume: 10

Issue: 7

Page Range: 1861-1865

Description:

We have managed to build up a computer controlled measurement system applying National Instruments Data Acquisiton card and National lnsturments LabVIEW software package. First, in a previous study, the specimen under test has been simulated by the Jiles-Atherton model of hysteresis, but simulated measurements have been performed using LabVIEW functions. Our main goal now is to control the magnetic flux density measured by using a toroidal shape core with a feedback controller. In this paper, we show the developed procedure which is able to measure the hysteresis characteristics applying analog and digital integrators, and to control the waveform of magnetic flux density determined from the induced voltage of the secondary coil wound on the toroidal shape core. Our experience is that the developed controller is robust. This work is an initial step of the vector hysteresis measurement system.
