A technique for temperature compensation in fiber grating vibration sensor is reported. It uses two FBGs as strain-differential sensors and its temperature effects are compensated. By using this technique, the total variation in wavelength difference within the range of 3°t o 45°C is 0.03 nm, 1/14 of the uncompensated fiber Bragg grating. The output waveform is still distortionless at the vibration frequency up to 715 Hz. The factors affecting the sensitivity and the frequency bandwidth are also discussed.
ABSTRACT: In this study, a novel technique for bandwidth enhancement of a microstrip antenna with a floating negative inductor matching network is presented. A compensation network consisting of three gallium-arsenide field effect transistors is employed at the input of a microstrip antenna operating at 10 GHz. The performance parameters of the designed microstrip antenna with and without compensation network are compared. The simulation results show that compensation network can improve the bandwidth from 17.21% to 32.67%.
