SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING SYSTEM PARAMETERS FROM NONLINEAR PERIODIC SIGNALS FROM SENSORS

摘要

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for extracting system parameters from nonlinear periodic signals from sensors. A sensor such as an inertial device includes a first structure and a second structure that is springedly coupled to the first structure. The sensor is configured to generate an output voltage based on a current between the first and second structures. Monotonic motion of the second structure relative to the first structure causes a reversal in direction of the current.

1. An inertial device, comprising:
a first structure; a second structure that is configured to move:
relative to the first structure, andprimarily along a first axis that is normal to a primary plane of the inertial device; a sensor configured to generate an output voltage based on a current between the first and second structures; and wherein monotonic motion of the second structure along the first axis causes a reversal in direction of the current.
