Abstract:
This article presents a method for detecting rotational speed by LC (inductor-capacitor) wireless sensors. The sensing system consists of two identical LC resonant tanks. One is mounted on the rotating part and the other, as a readout circuit, is placed right above the rotating part. When the inductor on the rotating part is coaxially aligned with the readout inductor during rotation, the mutual coupling between them reaches the maximum, resulting in a peak amplitude induced at the readout LC tank. The period of the readout signal corresponds to the rotation speed. ADS (Advanced Design System) software was used to simulate and optimize the sensing system. A synchronous detection circuit was designed. The rotational speed of an electric was measured to validate this method experimentally, and the results indicated that the maximum error of the rotation speed from 16 rps to 41 rps was 0.279 rps.
