Abstract

The electronic circuit modulates and demodulates measurement signals to suppress low frequency noise, including 1/f noise.The circuit contains a microcontroller with an integrated analogue-to-digital converter acting as a synchronous demodulator.A sensor module is included with integrated electronics for modulation via a dual quadrant multiplier (current- controlled differential amplifier). The signal frequency lies in the region of 0.5 to 15 Hz, a region where the 1/f noises have an esp. great influence.

Description

Ein in der Meßtechnik bekanntes Modulationsverfahren zur Unterdrückung von Rauschanteilen im Bereich sehr niedriger Frequenzen (1/f Rauschen) ist auf die Meßwerterfassung in Bewegungsmeldern angewendet worden.A modulation method known in measurement technology for suppressing Noise components in the range of very low frequencies (1 / f noise) is on the Measured value acquisition has been used in motion detectors.

Ziel dieses Verfahrens ist es, sehr kleine Temperaturdifferenzen, meßbar durch Intensitätsunterschiede in der Wärmestrahlung (thermisches Infrarot) im Bereich von 4-14 µm, zu erfassen. Damit verbunden ist auch die Vergrößerung der Reichweite. Besonders bei Bewegungsmeldern mit kleinen Linsendurchmessern, ist dies von erheblicher Bedeutung.The aim of this method is to measure very small temperature differences Differences in intensity in the thermal radiation (thermal infrared) in the area of 4-14 µm. Associated with this is the enlargement of the Range. Especially with motion detectors with small lens diameters, this is of considerable importance.

Das zum Patentanspruch angegebene Verfahren nebst schaltungstechnischem Vorschlag soll folgendes Problem lösen helfen:The method specified for the claim along with circuitry Proposal should help solve the following problem:

Durch die Miniaturisierung von Bewegungsmeldern ist auch eine Verkleinerung des Linsensystems verbunden. Hierdurch ist die Reichweite, bedingt durch die verringerte Temperaturauflösung, begrenzt, vergleichbar mit der geringen Lichtstärke bei Ferngläsern mit kleinen Linsendurchmesser.The miniaturization of motion detectors is also a downsizing connected to the lens system. This is the range, due to the reduced temperature resolution, limited, comparable to the low one Luminous intensity for binoculars with small lens diameters.

Ein weiteres Problem besteht in dem Aufwand an Elektronik, weshalb dieses Verfahren meist nur in teurer Meßtechnik ihren Einsatz findet. Deshalb wird auch ein schaltungstechnischer Vorschlag gemacht (Bild 1), der die Kosten senkt und somit den Einsatz dieser Technik sogar in preiswerten Bewegungsmeldern ermöglicht.Another problem is the expenditure on electronics, which is why this method is usually only used in expensive measuring technology. For this reason, a circuitry proposal is made ( Figure 1) that reduces costs and thus enables this technology to be used even in inexpensive motion detectors.

Das Auflösungsvermögen eines PIR Sensors wird zwar einerseits durch die Größe des Linsendurchmessers bestimmt (und der soll klein sein) andererseits aber auch durch den Signal/Rauschabstand. Die Signalfrequenzen liegen in einem Bereich von 0,5 Hz bis 15 Hz, einem Bereich, in dem das 1/f-Rauschen einen besonders großen Einfluß hat. Die Vergrößerung des Rauschabstandes erfolgt durch eine Multiplikation mit einer höheren Frequenz (Amplitudenmodulation) und einer anschließenden Synchrondemodulation. Die Frequenz der Modulationsspannung liegt im Bereich von 1 bis 5 kHz und wird im Controller erzeugt, der damit eine Konstantstromquelle für den im Sensormodul befindlichen Differenzverstärker steuert. Die Multiplikation mit dem Meßsignal erfolgt also im Sensormodul und wird nach entsprechend hoher Verstärkung der modulierten Spannung im Controller durch den Sample & Hold Eingang des AD Wandlers synchron demoduliert.The resolution of a PIR sensor is determined by the size the lens diameter determines (and it should be small) on the other hand through the signal / noise ratio. The signal frequencies are in one range from 0.5 Hz to 15 Hz, a range in which the 1 / f noise is special has great influence. The signal-to-noise ratio is increased by a Multiplication by a higher frequency (amplitude modulation) and one subsequent synchronous demodulation. The frequency of the modulation voltage lies in the range of 1 to 5 kHz and is generated in the controller, which is a Constant current source for the differential amplifier in the sensor module controls. The multiplication with the measurement signal thus takes place in the sensor module and is after correspondingly high amplification of the modulated voltage in the controller synchronously demodulated by the sample and hold input of the AD converter.

Das miniaturisierte Multi-Sensormodul liefert mit den integrierten Anteilen eines temperaturkompensierten Analog-Multiplizierers einen wesentlichen Bestandteil des beschriebenen Modulationsverfahrens. In Kombination mit einem Standard- Microcontroller, der alle notwendigen Funktionen übernimmt, durch seine Programmierbarkeit eine hohe Flexibilität besitzt und zusätzlich eine Reihe externer Analogfunktionen entfallen läßt, können, gegenüber Schaltungen mit gleichen Leistungsdaten in herkömmlicher Technik, durch die Senkung der Anzahl von Bauteilen erhebliche Kostenvorteile entstehen.The miniaturized multi-sensor module with the integrated parts delivers one temperature-compensated analog multiplier an essential component the modulation method described. In combination with a standard Microcontroller that takes over all the necessary functions through its Programmability has a high flexibility and also a number of external ones Analog functions can be omitted, compared to circuits with the same Performance data in conventional technology, by reducing the number of Components have considerable cost advantages.
