Angular orientation reconstruction of the Hall sensor calibration setup By Zdenko van Kesteren Supervisor: prof. dr. Frank Linde
Outline • Hall sensors • Calibration set up • Determining internal parameters • Angular orientation analysis
3D magnetic field sensor • 3D sensor with 10-4 precision • Prototype designed & built by NIKHEF • Need to be calibrated • Felix Bergsma (CERN)
Hall effect (semi)conductor in magnetic field
Hall effect VH = IB/nqd q = charge carrier n = carrier density
Hall sensor calibration • Rotate sensors over two orthogonal axes in accurately known homogeneous magnetic field • Repeat for several field strengths and temperatures • Angular orientation should be measured very precisely, order of 10-5 rad
Hall sensor calibration • Calibration set up #1 @ CERN (F. Bergsma) (magnet with B about 3 x 10-5 T) • Calibration set up #2 Jaap Kuijt, Henk Boterenbrood, Fred Schimmel Currently @ NIKHEF
Angular orientation • Need to know and < 10-4 both • Calibration setup offers several ways to measure and : • Absolute encoder readout • 3 orthogonal coils integrated on probe • Reference Hall board (will not be covered here)
Determining internal parameters • Constructing a model to describe coils • Imperfections in set up -> parameters in model • Rotation axes parameters • Coil geometry parameters • Coil electronics parameters • Fitting model to coil data
Coil geometry Plus 3 angles to fix coils in space: 1, 2 ,1
Coil electronics • Pedestal voltage • Electronical gain • RC-times Shell
internal parameters • Rotation geometry • 1 2 1 2 2 • Coils geometry • 12 13 23 1 2 1 • Coil electronics • Gi Pi i(i = 1, 2, 3) 20 parameters!
Internal parameters • Values and errors of the parameters are not reliable • Wrong assumption to fix iin fit • Normalized 2 on noise RMS • Parameters are used to analyse the angular orientation
Obtaining orientation • Set up offers two ways to obtain angular information: • Direct from the absolute encoders relies on 1 2 1 2 2 • By using the coil measurements relies on all parameters
Coil measurement method • Values of C1, C2 and C3 gives rise to a reconstructed trec (found by fitting) • 1trec and 2trec give rotation angles x, y • Rotation angles relate to angular orientation ,
Absolute Encoder method • Encoder readout give AX and AY • AX and AY relate to rotation angels x, y • Rotation angles relate to angular orientation ,
Results • , reconstruction • <10-4 rad precision not met • Internal parameters not reliable
Conclusions • Data not reliable • ADCs coils do not behave properly • Bergsma reconstructed B; B of 10-3 T • Fit not reliable • The ishould be floating parameters in fit • Including iin fit yields correlations between parameters
