Closed-Loop, Neural Network Controlled Accelerometer Design

Gaura E.I., Ferreira N., Rider R.J., Steele N., Coventry University, UK

In this paper, a closed-loop, smart transducer design is proposed, based on artificial neural network (ANN) techniques. The design aims to improve the performance of open-loop, off-the-shelf capacitive acceleration sensors and increase their robustness to [...]

A Neural Network Approach for the Identification of Micromachined Accelerometers

Gaura E.I., Steele N., Rider R.J., Coventry University, UK

The paper presents the identification procedure for a nonlinear accelerometer using a neural network. Simulation results obtained in SPICE and Matlab show good agreement between the behaviour of the sensor over its entire working range [...]
