Given: A quarter-bridge Wheatstone bridge circuit is used with a strain gage to measure strains up to ±1000 µstrain for a beam vibrating at a maximum frequency of 20 Hz, As shown in Figure 1. • The supply voltage to the Wheatstone bridge is Vs = 6.00 V DC • All Wheatstone bridge resistors and the strain gage itself are 1000 • The strain gage factor for the strain gage is GF = 2 • The output voltage Vo is sent into a 12-bit A/D converter with a range of ±10 V • Op-amps, resistors, and capacitors are available in this lab (a) To do: calculate the voltage output from the bridge. (b) If we sample the signal digitally at f=30 Hz(sampling frequency), is there any aliasing frequency in the final result? (c) If the analog signal can be first passed through an amplifier circuit, compute the amplifier gain required to reduce the quantization error to 2% or less. Describe with neat sketches about the bridge circuit and amplifier diagram for this problem. (d) To do:If the applied force F-0, usually the output voltage after the A/D converter is not equal to zero, give your explanations and ethods to eliminate the influence of this set voltage.
