Design Example: Underdamped Parallel RLC Circuit

260
Consider designing an oscillator circuit, a crucial component in various electronic devices and systems. The objective is to create an oscillator circuit with specific characteristics: a damped natural frequency of 4 kHz and a damping factor of 4 radians per second. To accomplish this, a parallel RLC circuit is employed, known for its ability to sustain oscillations at a resonant frequency. In this case, the damping factor is pivotal in achieving the desired performance.

Area of Science:

  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Vibration Measurement
  • Radar Technology

Background:

  • Precise measurement of sub-millimetre movements is vital for applications like surgical robot guidance.
  • Millimetre-wave (mmWave) radars show potential for detecting micro-vibrations.

  • Wireless control and synchronization capabilities integrated into the device.
  • Experimental calibration and testing using the OptiTrack sub-millimetre motion capture system.
  • Characterization of a 60 GHz mmWave radar using the developed oscillator.

Main Results:

  • The oscillator reliably generates low-frequency oscillations from 0.80 Hz to 3.50 Hz.
  • Achieved reliable peak amplitudes of 0.05 mm and above.
  • Demonstrated a peak amplitude relative error of less than 6%.

Conclusions:

  • The developed mechanical oscillator serves as a valuable reference device for mmWave radar characterization.
