#+end_note
In this document, we wish to characterize the performances of the encoder measurement system.
In particular, we would like to measure:
- the measurement noise
- the linearity of the sensor
- the bandwidth of the sensor
This document is structured as follow:
- Section [[sec:vionic_expected_performances]]: the expected performance of the Vionic encoder system are described
- Section [[sec:encoder_model]]: a simple model of the encoder is developed
- Section [[sec:noise_measurement]]: the noise of the encoder is measured and a model of the noise is identified
- Section [[sec:linearity_measurement]]: the linearity of the sensor is estimated
* Expected Performances
<<sec:vionic_expected_performances>>
The Vionic encoder is shown in Figure [[fig:encoder_vionic]].

#+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*.

The expected interpolation errors (non-linearity) is shown in Figure [[fig:vionic_expected_noise]].

* Encoder Model
<<sec:encoder_model>>
The Encoder is characterized by its dynamics $G_m(s)$ from the "true" displacement $y$ to measured displacement $y_m$.
Ideally, this dynamics is constant over a wide frequency band with very small phase drop.
It is also characterized by its measurement noise $n$ that can be described by its Power Spectral Density (PSD) $\Gamma_n(\omega)$.
The model of the encoder is shown in Figure [[fig:encoder-model-schematic]].

* Noise Measurement
<<sec:noise_measurement>>
** Test 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 $n$.

Let's create a transfer function that approximate the measured noise of the encoder.

Gn_e = 1.8e-11/(1 + s/2/pi/1e4);

The amplitude of the transfer function and the measured ASD are shown in Figure [[fig:vionic_noise_asd_model]].

** Validity of the noise model
The cumulative amplitude spectrum is now computed and shown in Figure [[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.
#+begin_src matlab :exports none

* Linearity Measurement
<<sec:linearity_measurement>>
** Test Bench
In order to measure the linearity, we have to compare the measured displacement with a reference sensor with a known linearity.
An interferometer or capacitive sensor should work fine.
An actuator should also be there so impose a displacement.
One idea is to use the test-bench shown in Figure [[fig:test_bench_encoder_calibration]].
The APA300ML is used to excite the mass in a broad bandwidth.
The motion is measured at the same time by the Vionic Encoder and by an interferometer (most likely an Attocube).
As the interferometer has a very large bandwidth, we should be able to estimate the bandwidth of the encoder if it is less than the Nyquist frequency that can be around 10kHz.
