** Measurement Description
Random Signal is generated by one DAC of the SpeedGoat.
The signal going out of the DAC is split into two:
- one BNC cable is directly connected to one ADC of the SpeedGoat
- one BNC cable goes two times in the Slip-Ring (from bottom to top and then from top to bottom) and then is connected to one ADC of the SpeedGoat
Two measurements are done.
| Data File | Description |
|--------------------+-----------------------|
| =mat/data_001.mat= | Slip-ring not turning |
| =mat/data_002.mat= | Slip-ring turning |
For each measurement, the measured signals are:
| Data File | Description |
|-----------+------------------------------------|
| =t= | Time vector |
| =x1= | Direct signal |
| =x2= | Signal going through the Slip-Ring |
The goal is to determine is the signal is altered when the spindle is rotating.
Here, the rotation speed of the Slip-Ring is set to 1rpm.

*** Conclusion
#+begin_important
- The fact that the Slip-Ring is turned ON adds some noise to the signal.
- The signal going through the Slip-Ring is less noisy than the one going directly to the ADC.
- This could be due to less good electromagnetic isolation.
*Questions*:
- Can the sharp peak on figure [[fig:sr_geophone_asd_zoom]] be due to the Aliasing?
#+end_important
** Measurement using an oscilloscope
*** Measurement Setup
Know we are measuring the same signals but using an oscilloscope instead of the Speedgoat ADC.
*** Observations
Then the Slip-Ring is ON (figure [[fig:oscilloscope_sr_on]]), we observe a signal at 40kHz with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 200mV for the direct measure and 100mV for the signal going through the Slip-Ring.
Then the Slip-Ring is OFF, we don't observe this 40kHz anymore (figure [[fig:oscilloscope_sr_off]]).

#+attr_html: :width 500px
[[file:./img/IMG_20190506_160438.jpg]]
*** Conclusion
#+begin_important
- By looking at the signals using an oscilloscope, there is a lot of high frequency noise when turning on the Slip-Ring
- This can eventually saturate the voltage amplifiers (seen by a led indicating saturation)
- The choice is to add a Low pass filter before the voltage amplifiers to not saturate them and filter the noise.
#+end_important
** New measurements with a LPF before the Voltage Amplifiers
*** Setup description
A first order low pass filter is added before the Voltage Amplifiers with the following values:
\begin{aligned}
R &= 1k\Omega \\
C &= 1\mu F
\end{aligned}
And we have a cut-off frequency of $f_c = \frac{1}{RC} = 160Hz$.
We are measuring the signal from a geophone put on the marble with and without the added LPF:
- with the slip ring OFF: =mat/data_016.mat=
- with the slip ring ON: =mat/data_017.mat=
*** Load data
We load the data of the z axis of two geophones.

win = hanning(ceil(10*Fs));
#+end_src
Then we compute the Power Spectral Density using =pwelch= function.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
% Direct measure
[pxd_lpf_off, ~] = pwelch(sr_lpf_off(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);

[pxsr_lpf_on, ~] = pwelch(sr_lpf_on(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
#+end_src

*** Conclusion
#+begin_important
- Using the LPF, we don't have any perturbation coming from the slip-ring when it is on.
- However, we will use a smaller value of the capacitor to have a cut-off frequency at $1kHz$.

** Conclusion
#+begin_important
- The voltage amplifiers include some very sharp high pass filters at 1.5Hz (maybe 4th order)
- There is a DC offset on the time domain signal because the DC-offset knob was not set to zero
*Questions*:
- What option should be used for the measurements?

* Measure of the Low Pass Filter
** Measurement Description
*Goal*:
- Measure the Low Pass Filter Transfer Function
The values of the components are:
\begin{aligned}
R &= 1k\Omega \\
C &= 1\mu F
\end{aligned}
Which makes a cut-off frequency of $f_c = \frac{1}{RC} = 1000 rad/s = 160Hz$.

** Conclusion
#+begin_important
As we want to measure things up to $500Hz$, we chose to change the value of the capacitor to obtain a cut-off frequency of $1kHz$.

** TODO Low Pass Filter with a cut-off frequency of 1kHz
This time, the value are
\begin{aligned}
R &= 1k\Omega \\
C &= 150nF
\end{aligned}
Which makes a low pass filter with a cut-off frequency of $f_c = 1060Hz$.
