** Experimental Setup
Two measurements are made with the control systems of all the stages turned OFF.
One geophone is located on the marble while the other is located at the sample location (figure [[fig:setup_slipring]]).
#+name: fig:setup_slipring
#+caption: Experimental Setup
#+attr_html: :width 500px
[[file:./img/IMG_20190430_112615.jpg]]
The two measurements are:
| Measurement File | Description |
|------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------|
| =meas_018.mat= | Signal from the top geophone does not goes through the Slip-ring |
| =meas_019.mat= | Signal goes through the Slip-ring (as shown on the figure above) |
Each of the measurement =mat= file contains one =data= array with 3 columns:
| Column number | Description |
|---------------+-------------------|
| 1 | Geophone - Marble |
| 2 | Geophone - Sample |
| 3 | Time |

** Conclusion
#+begin_important
- Connecting the geophone through the Slip-Ring seems to induce a lot of noise.
#+end_important
#+begin_note
*Remaining questions to answer*:
- Why is there a sharp peak at 300Hz?
- Why the use of the Slip-Ring does induce a noise?
- Can the capacitive/inductive properties of the wires in the Slip-ring does not play well with the geophone? (resonant RLC circuit)

** 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.

** First Measurement without LPF
*** Measurement Description
*Goal*:
- Determine if the noise induced by the slip-ring is a limiting factor when measuring the signal coming from a geophone
*Setup*:
- The geophone is located at the sample location
- The two Voltage amplifiers have the same following settings:
- AC
- 60dB
- 1kHz
- The signal from the geophone is split into two using a T-BNC:
- One part goes directly to the voltage amplifier and then to the ADC.
- The other part goes to the slip-ring=>voltage amplifier=>ADC.

*** 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]]).

*** 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.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
sr_lpf_off = load('mat/data_016.mat', 'data'); sr_lpf_off = sr_lpf_off.data;
sr_lpf_on = load('mat/data_017.mat', 'data'); sr_lpf_on = sr_lpf_on.data;
#+end_src
*** Time Domain
We compare the signal when the Slip-Ring is OFF (figure [[fig:sr_lpf_geophone_time_off]]) and when it is ON (figure [[fig:sr_lpf_geophone_time_on]]).

*** Frequency Domain
We first compute some parameters that will be used for the PSD computation.
#+begin_src matlab :results none
dt = sr_lpf_off(2, 3)-sr_lpf_off(1, 3);
Fs = 1/dt; % [Hz]
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);
[pxd_lpf_on, ~] = pwelch(sr_lpf_on(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);
% Slip-Ring measure
[pxsr_lpf_off, f] = pwelch(sr_lpf_off(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[pxsr_lpf_on, ~] = pwelch(sr_lpf_on(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
#+end_src
Finally, we compare the Amplitude Spectral Density of the signals (figure [[fig:sr_lpf_geophone_asd]]);
#+begin_src matlab :results none
figure;
hold on;
plot(f, sqrt(pxd_lpf_off), 'DisplayName', 'Direct - OFF');
plot(f, sqrt(pxsr_lpf_off), 'DisplayName', 'Slip-Ring - OFF');
plot(f, sqrt(pxd_lpf_on), 'DisplayName', 'Direct - ON');
plot(f, sqrt(pxsr_lpf_on), 'DisplayName', 'Slip-Ring - ON');
hold off;

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