Abstract

FBG sensors are mainly used to measure deformation of structures such as tunnels, bridges and ships. In this paper, an interrogator of FBG sensors is developed and implemented to measure the status of structures. A developed interrogator includes CAN wired and Zigbee wireless communication for remote monitoring. Strain of structure is measured using shift of wavelength of reflected light from FBG sensor. A digital signal controller is used to process signals of a FBG sensor and transmit data for remote monitoring. As a result of experiment, developed interrogator is effective to measure deformation of structures.

FBG센서는 터널, 교량, 선박과 같은 구조물의 변형을 측정하고 활용된다. 본 논문은 구조물의 상태를 FBG센서를 이용하여 원격모니터링 하기 위한 광전변환시스템의 개발 구현에 관한 것이다. 개발한 광전변환시스템은 원격 모니터링을 위하여 유선과 무선통신 기능으로 각각 CAN과 Zigbee를 포함한다. 광전변환시스템은 광회절격자에 의하여 분광된 FBG센서의 반사광을 선형 이미지센서로 입사하여 파장의 변이를 FPGA를 이용하여 측정한다. FBG센서신호에 대한 처리와 원격모니터링을 위한 데이터 전송을 위하여 DSC(digital signal controller)를 이용한다. 개발한 광전변환시스템이 구조물 변형 측정에 효율적임을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.
