Abstract:

Owing that the conventional temperature drift error (TDE) estimation method for capacitive micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers (CMA) has demerits of inaccurate TDE traceability and tedious model establishing process, low accuracy and high complexity are introduced inevitably. A precise TDE estimation method of CMA based on micro-deformation analysis is proposed. Firstly, TDE is traced accurately with micro-deformation analysis, and a modified TDE estimation model is established with radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). Secondly, an accurate model identification method is proposed under Expert-Fuzzy assisted decision-making based on expert experience and fuzzy theory, which offers effective structural configuration guidance to the modified model. Then, temperature experiment is designed to test CMA, and the conventional and modified models are evaluated in performance by comparing their bias stability. Experimental results show that the establishing process for the modified model is greatly simplified, and its bias stability is improved by 35%. It ensures that TDE of CMA can be estimated much more precisely, which decouples temperature dependency of Si-based material and improves the environmental adaptability of CMA.
