Electrical characteristics of the APA force sensor
** TODO [#A] Noise budgeting to have specifications
Simplified model (uniaxial?)
From maximum induced vibration, and estimated bandwidth (S and T), estimate the maximum:
- Actuator noise (i.e DAC + voltage amplifier)
- force sensor noise (i.e. ADC) + encoder noise?
- external metrology noise? (not very relevant, maybe this should be assumed, similar to Attocube noise [[file:~/Cloud/work-projects/ID31-NASS/matlab/test-bench-attocube/test-bench-attocube.org][test-bench-attocube]])
=> *Specifications*
And specifications in terms of bandwidth, voltage ranges, etc...
- Most stringent requirement: vertical vibrations below 15nm RMS
- Because of system symmetry, only one strut is considered
It is suppose that the vibrations induced by each strut is uncorrelated
combination of 6 actuators with uncorrelated noise => x2.5
- Therefore, each actuator should induce less than 15/2.5=6nm RMS of vibration in the vertical direction
3 sources of noise:
- ADC
- DAC
- voltage amplifier
Suppose uncorrelated noise: each should be sqrt(3) lower => 3.5 nm RMS max for each source
From noise ASD of elements => easy to compute the effect in nm RMS on the output (in closed-loop).
Ideally, we would like to have the specifications in terms of ASD for each element.
We can suppose the noise ASD to be flat with frequency and find the maximum value to reach x nm RMS => this is our specifications.
*We need inputs and outputs to be in volts for the NASS plant !*
- use 2DoF model of APA and 3 and 4 DoF model of the flexible joints

- ADC (force sensors): measured
- Ground motion: estimated
By taking into account all those sources, we should be able to do a noise budgeting and compare with the obtain measurements.
We need the following transfer functions:
- from ground motion (x,y,z) to strut motion (1 to 6) => Simscape
- from DAC voltage to strut motion => identified FRF
- from PD200 voltage to strut motion => identified FRF
- from ADC noise to strut motion => identified FRF + Controller (closed-loop)

* Introduction :ignore:
The goal is to show that each element in the system has been properly chosen based on certain requirements.
In order to determine the maximum noise of each instrumentation, a dynamic error budgeting is performed in Section ref:sec:instrumentation_dynamic_error_budgeting.
The required instrumentation are then selected based on obtained noise specifications and other requirements summarized in Section ref:sec:detail_instrumentation_choice.
The received instrumentation are characterized in Section ref:sec:detail_instrumentation_characterization.
- Say the the real time controller is a Speedgoat machine, as it is the standard real time controller used at the ESRF

<<sec:detail_instrumentation_dynamic_error_budgeting>>
** Introduction :ignore:
*Goal*:
- Write specifications regarding the maximum noise of instrumentation (ADC, DAC and voltage amplifier)
such that it induces acceptable vibrations levels
*Procedure*:
- Get closed-loop transfer functions from disturbance sources (noise of ADC, DAC and amplifier noise) to positioning error
This is done using the multi-body model, with 2DoF APA model (having voltage input and outputs)
- Focus is made on the vertical direction, as it is the direction with the most stringent requirements.
- Deduce the maximum ASD of the noise sources
As the voltage amplifier gain will impact how the DAC noise will be amplified, some assumption are made:
- we want to apply -20 to 150V to the stacks
- Typical ADC are +/-10V
- Assumption of voltage amplifier with gain 20

** Closed-Loop Sensitivity to Instrumentation Disturbances
The following noise sources are considered (Figure ref:fig:detail_instrumentation_plant):
- $n_{da}$: output voltage noise of the DAC
- $n_{amp}$: (input referred) voltage noise of the voltage amplifier
- $n_{ad}$: voltage noise of the ADC measuring the force sensor stacks
Encoder noise, only used to estimate $R_z$ is found to have little impact on the vertical sample error and is therefore ommited from this analysis for clarity.
The transfer function from these three noise sources (for one strut) to the vertical error of the sample are estimated from the multi-body model, including the APA300ML and the designed flexible joints.
The latteral error was also considered, but the specifications are less stringent than vertical error and the sensitivity to disturbances is smaller.

** Estimation of maximum instrumentation noise
From previous analysis, we know how the noise of the instrumentation will affect the vertical error of the sample.
Now, we want to determine specifications for each instrumentation such that the effect on the vertical error of the sample is within specifications.
Most stringent requirement:
- vertical vibrations less than the smallest expected beam size of 100nm
- This corresponds to a maximum allowed vibration of 15nm RMS
Assumption on the noise:
- uncorrelated, which is reasonable.
This means that the PSD of the different noise sources adds up.
Use of system symmetry to simplify the analysis:
- the effect of all the struts on the vertical errors are identical (verify from the extracted sensitivity curves).
Therefore only one strut can be considered for this analysis, and the total effect of the six struts is just six times the effect of one strut (in terms of power, but in terms of RMS value it's only sqrt(6)=2.5)
In order to have specifications for the noise of the instrumentations, assumptions:
- flat noise, which is quite typical
The noise specification is computed such that if all the instrumentation have this maximum noise, the specification in terms of vertical error is still respected.
This is a pessimistic choice, but it gives a rough idea of the specifications.
#+begin_src matlab
% Maximum wanted effect of each noise source on the vertical error
% Specifications: 15nm RMS
% divide by sqrt(6) because 6 struts
% divide by sqrt(3) because 3 considered noise sources
max_asd_z = 15e-9 / sqrt(6) / sqrt(3); % [m/sqrt(Hz)]
% Suppose unitary flat noise ASD => compute the effect on vertical noise
unit_asd = ones(1, length(freqs));
rms_unit_asd_dac = sqrt(sum((unit_asd.*abs(squeeze(freqresp(Gd('z', 'du1' ), freqs, 'Hz'))).').^2));
rms_unit_asd_amp = sqrt(sum((unit_asd.*abs(squeeze(freqresp(Gd('z', 'du1' ), freqs, 'Hz'))).').^2));
rms_unit_asd_adc = sqrt(sum((unit_asd.*abs(squeeze(freqresp(Gd('z', 'dVs1'), freqs, 'Hz'))).').^2));
rms_unit_asd_enc = sqrt(sum((unit_asd.*abs(squeeze(freqresp(Gd('z', 'ddL1'), freqs, 'Hz'))).').^2));
% Obtained maximum ASD for different instruments
max_dac_asd = max_asd_z./rms_unit_asd_dac;
max_amp_asd = max_asd_z./rms_unit_asd_amp;
max_adc_asd = max_asd_z./rms_unit_asd_adc;
max_enc_asd = max_asd_z./rms_unit_asd_enc;
% Estimation of the equivalent RMS noise
max_dac_rms = max_dac_asd*sqrt(5e3)
max_amp_rms = max_amp_asd*sqrt(5e3)
max_adc_rms = max_adc_asd*sqrt(5e3)
max_enc_rms = max_enc_asd*sqrt(5e3)
#+end_src
Obtained maximum noise are:
- DAC maximum output noise ASD $32\,\mu V/\sqrt{Hz}$.
- Voltage amplifier maximum noise (referred to input) ASD $32\,\mu V/\sqrt{Hz}$
- ADC maximum measurement noise ASD $22\,\mu V/\sqrt{Hz}$.
In terms of RMS noise,
- DAC and voltage amplifier: <1 mV RMS
- ADC: < 0.8 mV RMS
- [ ] Maybe make a table to summarize the specifications
If the Amplitude Spectral Density of the noise of the ADC, DAC and voltage amplifiers are all below the specified maximum noises, then the induced vertical error will be below 15nmRMS.

#+begin_quote
The VIONiC encoder features the third generation of Renishaw's unique filtering optics that average the contributions from many scale periods and effectively filter out non-periodic features such as dirt.
The nominally square-wave scale pattern is also filtered to leave a pure sinusoidal fringe field at the detector.
Here, a multiple finger structure is employed, fine enough to produce photocurrents in the form of four symmetrically phased signals.
These are combined to remove DC components and produce sine and cosine signal outputs with high spectral purity and low offset while maintaining *bandwidth to beyond 500 kHz*.
Fully integrated advanced dynamic signal conditioning, Auto Gain , Auto Balance and Auto Offset Controls combine to ensure *ultra-low Sub-Divisional Error (SDE) of typically* $<\pm 15\, nm$.
This evolution of filtering optics, combined with carefully-selected electronics, provide incremental signals with wide bandwidth achieving a maximum speed of 12 m/s with the lowest positional jitter (noise) of any encoder in its class.
Interpolation is within the readhead, with fine resolution versions being further augmented by additional noise-reducing electronics to achieve *jitter of just 1.6 nm RMS*.

[[file:~/Cloud/work-projects/ID31-NASS/matlab/test-bench-PD200/test-bench-pd200.org::*Quantization Noise of the ADC][Quantization Noise of the ADC]]
**** Quantization Noise
Let's note:
- $q = \frac{\Delta V}{2^n}$ the quantization in [V], which is the corresponding value in [V] of the least significant bit
- $\Delta V$ is the full range of the ADC in [V]
- $n$ is the number of ADC's bits
- $f_s$ is the sample frequency in [Hz]
#+begin_src matlab
%% Estimate quantization noise of the ADC
delta_V = 20; % +/-10 V
n = 16; % number of bits
Fs = 10e3; % [Hz]
q = delta_V/2^n; % Quantization in [V]
q_psd = q^2/12/Fs; % Quantization noise Power Spectral Density [V^2/Hz]
q_asd = sqrt(q_psd); % Quantization noise Amplitude Spectral Density [V/sqrt(Hz)]
#+end_src
Let's suppose that the ADC is ideal and the only noise comes from the quantization error.
Interestingly, the noise amplitude is uniformly distributed.
The quantization noise can take a value between $\pm q/2$, and the probability density function is constant in this range (i.e., it’s a uniform distribution).
Since the integral of the probability density function is equal to one, its value will be $1/q$ for $-q/2 < e < q/2$ (Fig. ref:fig:probability_density_function_adc).
#+begin_src latex :file probability_density_function_adc.pdf

#+name: fig:probability_density_function_adc
#+caption: Probability density function $p(e)$ of the ADC error $e$
#+RESULTS:
[[file:figs/probability_density_function_adc.png]]
Now, we can calculate the time average power of the quantization noise as
\begin{equation}
P_q = \int_{-q/2}^{q/2} e^2 p(e) de = \frac{q^2}{12}
\end{equation}
The other important parameter of a noise source is the power spectral density (PSD), which indicates how the noise power spreads in different frequency bands.
To find the power spectral density, we need to calculate the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function of the noise.
Assuming that the noise samples are not correlated with one another, we can approximate the autocorrelation function with a delta function in the time domain.
Since the Fourier transform of a delta function is equal to one, the *power spectral density will be frequency independent*.
Therefore, the quantization noise is white noise with total power equal to $P_q = \frac{q^2}{12}$.
Thus, the two-sided PSD (from $\frac{-f_s}{2}$ to $\frac{f_s}{2}$), we should divide the noise power $P_q$ by $f_s$:
\begin{equation}
\int_{-f_s/2}^{f_s/2} \Gamma(f) d f = f_s \Gamma = \frac{q^2}{12}
\end{equation}
Finally, the Power Spectral Density of the quantization noise of an ADC is equal to:
\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
\Gamma &= \frac{q^2}{12 f_s} \\
&= \frac{\left(\frac{\Delta V}{2^n}\right)^2}{12 f_s} \text{ in } \left[ \frac{V^2}{Hz} \right]
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
Let's take a 16bits ADC with a range of +/-10V and a sample frequency of 10kHz.
The quantization is:
\[ q = \frac{20}{2^{16}} \approx 0.3\,mV \]
\[ \Gamma_Q = \frac{q^2}{12 f_N} = 7.5 \cdot 10^{-13} \quad [V^2/Hz] \]
ASD:
\[ 0.88\,\mu V/\sqrt{Hz} \]

To have additional $w$ bits of resolution, the oversampling frequency $f_{os}$ should be:
\begin{equation}
f_{os} = 4^w \cdot f_s

[[cite:hauser91_princ_overs_conver]]
#+begin_quote
Key points to consider are:
- The noise must approximate *white noise* with uniform power spectral density over the frequency band of interest.
- The *noise amplitude must be sufficient* to cause the input signal to change randomly from sample to sample by amounts comparable to at least the distance between two adjacent codes (i.e., 1 LSB).
- The input signal can be represented as a random variable that has equal probability of existing at any value between two adjacent ADC codes.

**** Noise Measurement
[[file:~/Cloud/work-projects/ID31-NASS/matlab/test-bench-PD200/test-bench-pd200.org::*16bits DAC noise measurement][16bits DAC noise measurement]]
In order not to have any quantization noise and only measure the output voltage noise of the DAC, we "ask" the DAC to output a zero voltage.
The measurement setup is schematically represented in Figure ref:fig:noise_measure_setup_dac.
The gain of the pre-amplifier is adjusted such that the measured amplified noise is much larger than the quantization noise of the ADC.
The Amplitude Spectral Density $\Gamma_n(\omega)$ of the measured signal is computed.
The Amplitude Spectral Density of the DAC output voltage noise $n_{da}$ can be computed taking into account the gain of the pre-amplifier:
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{n_{da}}(\omega) = \frac{\Gamma_m(\omega)}{|G_a(\omega)|}
\end{equation}
And it is verified that the Amplitude Spectral Density of $n_{da}$ is much larger than the one of $n_a$:
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{n_{da}} \gg \Gamma_{n_a}
\end{equation}

**** PD200 - Low frequency noise measurement
The measurement setup is shown in Figure ref:fig:noise_measure_setup_pd200.
The input of the PD200 amplifier is shunted with a 50 Ohm resistor such that there in no voltage input expected the PD200 input voltage noise.
The gain of the pre-amplifier is increased in order to measure a signal much larger than the quantization noise of the ADC.

**** PD200 - High frequency noise measurement
The measurement setup is the same as in Figure ref:fig:noise_measure_setup_pd200.
The Amplitude Spectral Density $\Gamma_n(\omega)$ of the measured signal by the ADC is computed.
The Amplitude Spectral Density of the input voltage noise of the PD200 amplifier $n_p$ is then computed taking into account the gain of the pre-amplifier and the gain of the PD200 amplifier:
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{n_p}(\omega) = \frac{\Gamma_n(\omega)}{|G_p(j\omega) G_a(j\omega)|}
\end{equation}
And we verify that we are indeed measuring the noise of the PD200 and not the noise of the pre-amplifier by checking that:
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{n_p}(\omega) |G_p(j\omega)| \ll \Gamma_{n_a}
\end{equation}

*** Bandwidth
**** Maximum Frequency/Voltage to not overload the amplifier
<<sec:tf_meas_w_max>>
Then the maximum output current of the amplifier is reached, the amplifier automatically shuts down itself.
We should then make sure that the output current does not reach this maximum specified current.
The maximum current is 1A [rms] which corresponds to 0.7A in amplitude of the sin wave.
The impedance of the capacitance is:
\[ Z_C(\omega) = \frac{1}{jC\omega} \]
Therefore the relation between the output current amplitude and the output voltage amplitude for sinusoidal waves of frequency $\omega$:
\[ V_{out} = \frac{1}{C\omega} I_{out} \]
Moreover, there is a gain of 20 between the input voltage and the output voltage:
\[ 20 V_{in} = \frac{1}{C\omega} I_{out} \]
For a specified voltage input amplitude $V_{in}$, the maximum frequency at which the output current reaches its maximum value is:
\begin{equation}
\boxed{\omega_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{20 C V_{in}} I_{out,\text{max}}}
\end{equation}
with:
- $\omega_{\text{max}}$ the maximum input sinusoidal frequency in Radians per seconds
- $C$ the load capacitance in Farads
- $V_{in}$ the input voltage sinusoidal amplitude in Volts
- $I_{out,\text{max}}$ the specified maximum output current in Amperes
$\omega_{\text{max}}/2\pi$ as a function of $V_{in}$ is shown in Figure ref:fig:max_frequency_voltage.

**** Small Signal Bandwidth
<<sec:meas_small_signal_bandwidth>>
Here the small signal dynamics of all the 7 PD200 amplifiers are identified.
A (logarithmic) sweep sine excitation voltage is generated by the Speedgoat DAC with an amplitude of 0.1V and a frequency going from 1Hz up to 5kHz.
The output voltage of the PD200 amplifier is measured thanks to the monitor voltage of the PD200 amplifier.
The input voltage of the PD200 amplifier (the generated voltage by the DAC) is measured with another ADC of the Speedgoat.
This way, the time delay related to the ADC will not be apparent in the results.

**** Output Impedance
The goal of this experimental setup is to estimate the output impedance $R_\text{out}$ of the PD200 voltage amplifiers.
A DAC with a constant output voltage (here 0.1V) is connected to the input of the PD200 amplifier.
Then, the output voltage of the PD200 amplifier is measured in two conditions:
- $V$ when the output is not connected to any load
- $V_p$ when a load $R = 10\,\Omega$ is connected at the output of the amplifier
The load and the output impedance form a voltage divider, and thus:
\[ V^\prime = \frac{R}{R + R_\text{out}} V \]
From the two values of voltage, the output impedance of the amplifier can be estimated:
\[ R_\text{out} = R \frac{V - V^\prime}{V^\prime} \]
A schematic of the setup is shown in Figure ref:fig:setup_output_impedance.
#+name: fig:setup_output_impedance
#+caption: Schematic of the setup use to estimate the output impedance of the PD200 amplifier
[[file:figs/setup_output_impedance.png]]
Below are defined the measured output voltages with and without the 10Ohm load:
#+begin_src matlab
R = 10; % Load [Ohm]
% V Vp
meas = [1.988, 1.794; % PD200 - 1
1.990, 1.789; % PD200 - 2
1.982, 1.795; % PD200 - 3
1.984, 1.789; % PD200 - 4
1.998, 1.810; % PD200 - 5
1.984, 1.799; % PD200 - 6
2.004, 1.812] % PD200 - 7
#+end_src
The output impedance of the amplifier can then be estimated using:
\begin{equation}
R_{\text{out}} = R_{\text{load}} \frac{V - V_p}{V}
\end{equation}
#+begin_src matlab
meas(:, 3) = R * (meas(:,1) - meas(:,2))./meas(:,2)

**** Voltage Amplifier Model
<<sec:amplifier_model>>
The Amplifier is characterized by its dynamics $G_p(s)$ from voltage inputs $V_{in}$ to voltage output $V_{out}$.
Ideally, the gain from $V_{in}$ to $V_{out}$ is constant over a wide frequency band with very small phase drop.
It is also characterized by its *input* noise $n$.
The objective is therefore to determine the transfer function $G_p(s)$ from the input voltage to the output voltage as well as the Power Spectral Density $S_n(\omega)$ of the amplifier input noise.
As $G_p$ depends on the load capacitance, it should be measured when loading the amplifier with a $10\,\mu F$ capacitor.

The input noise of the amplifier $n$ can be further modeled by shaping a white noise with unitary PSD $\tilde{n}$ with a transfer function $G_n(s)$ as shown in Figure ...
The Amplitude Spectral Density $\Gamma_n$ is then:
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_n(\omega) = |G_n(j\omega)| \Gamma_{\tilde{n}}(\omega)
\end{equation}
with $\Gamma_{\tilde{n}}(\omega) = 1$.

The input noise of the PD200 amplifier is limited by the output voltage noise of the DAC.
Having a DAC with lower output voltage noise could lower the overall noise of the setup.

<<sec:noise_bench>>
To measure the noise $n$ of the encoder, one can rigidly fix the head and the ruler together such that no motion should be measured.
Then, the measured signal $y_m$ corresponds to the noise $n$.
The measurement bench is shown in Figures ref:fig:meas_bench_top_view and ref:fig:meas_bench_side_view.
Note that the bench is then covered with a "plastic bubble sheet" in order to keep disturbances as small as possible.

As shown in Section ref:sec:thermal_drifts, these drifts should diminish over time down to 1nm/min.

The cumulative amplitude spectrum is now computed and shown in Figure ref:fig:vionic_noise_cas_model.
We can see that the Root Mean Square value of the measurement noise is $\approx 1.6 \, nm$ as advertise in the datasheet.

** External Metrology
[[file:~/Cloud/work-projects/ID31-NASS/matlab/test-bench-attocube/test-bench-attocube.org][test-bench-attocube]]
Different options:
- Attocube: issue of non-linearity estimated from the encoders
- Smaract
- QuDIS
For the final tests, QuDIS were used.
