Abstract

The signal quality of traveling wave and the measurement accuracy of parasitic time grating can be improved by optimiz ing its structure. This optimization process can be guided through building the electrical traveling wave equation with respect to the structure and the traveling wave signal generation principle. Based on Ansoft Maxwell simulation, the important electromagnetic parameters and the main uncertainty sources were analyzed and determined respectively. In the simulation parameters such as the excitation signal frequency, the gap width, the relative area of the probe, the coils number, the excitation signal amplitude and the core length were set to different values. It can be seen from the simulation results that excitation signal frequency, the gap width, the relative area between the probe and the rotor are the major factors to influence the angular measuring accuracy of parasitic time grating sensor. Meanwhile, the coils number, the excitation signal amplitude and the core length are the secondary factors. The analysis result can be utilized to optimize the structure of parasitic time grating and correct measurement error.
