We propose and demonstrate a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor network employing the code division multiple access (CDMA) technique to identify information from individual sensors. To detect information without considering time delays between sensors, a sliding correlation method is applied, in which two different signals with the same pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) pattern, but slightly different frequencies, are applied to the source and detector sides. Moreover, for time domain detection, a wavelength-to-time conversion technique using a wavelength dispersive medium is introduced. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor network has a wide strain dynamic range of 2,400 με and a low crosstalk of 950:1.
我们提出并演示了一种采用码分多址(CDMA)技术的光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)传感器网络,以识别来自各个传感器的信息。为了在不考虑传感器之间时间延迟的情况下检测信息,应用了滑动相关方法,其中将两个具有相同伪随机二进制序列(PRBS)模式但略有不同频率的不同信号应用于光源和探测器侧。此外,对于时域检测,引入了使用波长色散介质的波长-时间转换技术。实验结果表明,所提出的传感器网络具有 2400 με 的宽应变动态范围和 950:1 的低串扰。
