Measurement of Piezoelectric Amplifiers

Introduction   ignore

Two voltage amplifiers are tested:

  • PI E-505.00 (link)
  • Cedrat Technology LA75B (link)

The piezoelectric actuator under test is an APA95ML from Cedrat technology. It contains three stacks with a capacitance of $5 \mu F$ each that can be connected independently to the amplifier.

Load Data

  piezo1 = load('mat/cedrat_la75b_med_1_stack.mat', 't', 'V_in', 'V_out');
  piezo2 = load('mat/cedrat_la75b_med_2_stack.mat', 't', 'V_in', 'V_out');
  piezo3 = load('mat/cedrat_la75b_med_3_stack.mat', 't', 'V_in', 'V_out');

Compute Coherence and Transfer functions

  Ts = 1e-4;
  win = hann(ceil(0.1/Ts));

  [tf_1, f] = tfestimate(piezo1.V_in, piezo1.V_out, win, [], [], 1/Ts);
  [co_1, ~] = mscohere(piezo1.V_in, piezo1.V_out, win, [], [], 1/Ts);

  [tf_2, ~] = tfestimate(piezo2.V_in, piezo2.V_out, win, [], [], 1/Ts);
  [co_2, ~] = mscohere(piezo2.V_in, piezo2.V_out, win, [], [], 1/Ts);

  [tf_3, ~] = tfestimate(piezo3.V_in, piezo3.V_out, win, [], [], 1/Ts);
  [co_3, ~] = mscohere(piezo3.V_in, piezo3.V_out, win, [], [], 1/Ts);

We remove the phase delay due to the time delay of the ADC/DAC:

  angle_delay = 180/pi*angle(squeeze(freqresp(exp(-s*Ts), f, 'Hz')));

Comparison of the two Amplifier transfer functions

Impedance Measurement

Introduction   ignore

The goal is to experimentally measure the output impedance of the voltage amplifiers.

To do so, the output voltage is first measure without any load ($V$). It is then measure when a 10Ohm load is used ($V^\prime$).

The load ($R = 10\Omega$) and the internal resistor ($R_i$) form a voltage divider, and thus: \[ V^\prime = \frac{R}{R + R_i} V \]

From the two values of voltage, the internal resistor value can be computed: \[ R_i = R \frac{V - V^\prime}{V^\prime} \]

Cedrat Technology

Compute Impedance 

  R = 10;    % Resistive Load used [Ohm]
  V = 0.998; % Output Voltage without any load [V]
  Vp = 0.912; % Output Voltage with resistice load [V]
  R * (V - Vp)/Vp;
0.94298

  R = 47;    % Resistive Load used [Ohm]
  V = 4.960; % Output Voltage without any load [V]
  Vp = 4.874; % Output Voltage with resistice load [V]
  R * (V - Vp)/Vp;
0.8293

Effect of Impedance on the phase drop 

  C_1 = 5e-6; % Capacitance in [F]
  C_2 = 10e-6; % Capacitance in [F]
  C_3 = 15e-6; % Capacitance in [F]

  Ri = R * (V - Vp)/Vp; % Internal resistance [Ohm]
  G0 = 20;

  G_1 = G0/(1+Ri*C_1*s);
  G_2 = G0/(1+Ri*C_2*s);
  G_3 = G0/(1+Ri*C_3*s);
