Signal Detecting and Characteristic Measurement of a Capacitive Triaxial Micro-Accelerometer

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper introduces the principle of capacitive detection and specific method of signal detecting based on a triaxial micro-accelerometer. The corresponding detecting circuit is designed, and a suitable test system is set up. The sensitivity and accuracy test results of the triaxial micro-accelerometer show that all the masses sensitivity has nice consistency, the micro-accelerometer is feasible in theory and practice, and with the capability of precisely measuring the input acceleration in three directions.
