펄스와전류탐상에서 탐상 신호는 주로 센서코일에 유도되는 기전력의 시간에 따른 변화를 측정하여 사용되었는데, 최근에는 홀센서(Hall sensor)로 측정한 신호를 사용하는 경우도 많아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 펄스와전류탐상에서 나타나는 홀센서 신호를 수치적으로 모델링하여 예측하였다. 이를 위해 두께 측정을 위한 탐촉자를 설계하고 먼저 계단입력전류를 사용한 수치해석을 수행하여 홀센서를 사용하였을 경우의 신호를 예측하였다. 또한, 코일을 센서로 사용하였을 경우의 신호도 동시에 계산하였다. 수치모델링 결과로 예측된 홀센서 신호들은 실험 연구를 통해 보고된 신호들과 유사한 형태를 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 피검사체의 두께 변화에 따른 두 신호들의 특성을 분석하고 비교해 본 결과, 홀센서 신호에서는 코일센서 신호에 비해 두께 변화를 판별하기 위한 정보가 더 적게 제공된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 펄스입력전류를 사용한 경우의 탐상 신호들도 계산해 본 결과, 두 신호 모두 사용된 펄스의 폭이 지난 시간에는 계단입력전류를 사용한 경우의 응답이 반대가 되어 감소하는 형태로 나타난다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a wide-range speed control scheme of brushless DC (BLDC) motors based on a hall sensor with separated low- and normal-speed controllers. However, the use of the hall sensor signal is insufficient to detect motor speed in the low-speed region because of low sensor resolution and time delay. In the proposed method, a micro-stepping current control method according to the torque angle variation is presented. In this mode, the motor current frequency and rotating angle are determined by the reference speed without the actual speed fed by the hall sensor. The detected torque angle is used to adjust the current value in a limited band to control the current value in accordance with the load. The torque angle is detected exactly at the changing point of the hall sensor signal. The rotor can follow the rotating flux with the variable torque angle. In a normal speed range, the conventional vector control scheme is used to control the motor current with a PI speed controller using the hall sensor. The torque characteristics are analyzed on the basis of the back EMF and current shape. To adopt the vector control scheme, the continuous rotor position is estimated by the measured speed and hall sensor position. At the mode changing point between low and normal speed range, the proper initial current command and reference rotor position are calculated. The calculated current command can reduce the torque ripple during transient mode. The proposed method is simple but effective in extending the speed control range of a conventional BLDC motor with hall sensor without the need for a high-resolution encoder. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by various experiments on a practical BLDC motor.

Current sensors that use a Hall element and Hall IC to measure the magnetic fields generated in steel silicon core gaps do not distinguish between direct and alternating currents. Thus, they are primarily used to measure direct current (DC) in industrial equipment. Although such sensors can measure the DC when installed in expensive equipment, ascertaining problems becomes difficult if the equipment is set up in an unexposed space. The control box is only opened during scheduled maintenance or when anomalies occur. Therefore, in this paper, a method is proposed for facilitating the safety management and maintenance of equipment when necessary, instead of waiting for anomalies or scheduled maintenance. A Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy current-sensor system based on near-field communication is used, which compensates for the nonlinearity of the current-sensor output signal using a piecewise linear model. The sensor is controlled using its generic attribute profile. Sensor nodes and cell phones used to check the signals obtained from the sensor at 50-A input currents showed an accuracy of ±1%, exhibiting linearity in all communications within the range of 0 to 50 A, with a stable output voltage for each communication segment.

Automotive inverters may require current sensors for motor torque control, especially, in applications of hybrid electric vehicles or fuel cell vehicles. In this paper, to achieve a compact, integrated and low cost current sensor, a hall current sensor without magnetic core is introduced for integrating an automotive inverter. The compactness of the current sensor is possible by using integrated magnetic concentrators based on the Hall effect. Magnetic fields caused by three-phase currents are analyzed and a magnetic shield design is proposed for decoupling the cross-coupled field. It offers galvanic isolation, wide bandwidth (>100kHz), and accuracy(< 1%). Using 2D FEM analysis, its performance is demonstrated with design parameters at a U-shaped magnetic shield. The proposed coreless current sensor is tested with rated current to validate the linearity and accuracy.

A three branches vortical Hall sensor for detecting rotation angle of brushless motor has fabricated. The sensor is constructed three branches of $150{\mu}m$ width and $300{\mu}m$ distance from central electrode to Hall electrode. Each branch has one Hall output and one Hall input. The central electrode acts as common driving input. According to rotation angle change of brushless motor, sensor gives three position signals phase shifted by $120^{\circ}$. The sensitivity of sensor is 200V/A$\cdot$T at magnetic field of 0.1 T and constant driving current of 1mA. It has also showed three sine waves of Hall output voltages with $120^{\circ}$ phase over one motor rotation. The noise can limit sensor's resolution. We have measured sensor's noise characteristics. The detectable minimum magnetic field is $20{\mu}T$ at driving current 1mA, measured frequency 1 kHz and bandwidth$({\Delta}f)$ of 1Hz.

In this paper, because the position sensor represents the important factor in BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drives, BLDC motor is necessary that the three Hall-sensors evenly be distributed around the stator circumference in case of the 3 phase motor. The Hall-sensor is set up in this motor to detect the main flux from the rotor. So the output signal from Hall-sensor is used to drive IGBT to control the stator winding current. However, in case of breakdown Hall sensor, we research that the estimation algorithm of Hall sensor signal to detect rotor position and for the speed feedback signals with BLDC motor whose six stator and two rotor designed. In addition, this paper presents a sensorless speed control of BLDC Motor using terminal voltage of the one phase. Rotor position information is extracted by indirectly sensing the back EMF from only one of the three terminal voltages for a three-phase BLDC motor.

본 논문은 CMOS 자기센서(hall Sensor)의 오프셋 및 1/f 잡음 제거기술 기반 고선형 자기센서 신호처리장치를 제안한다. 제안하는 자기센서는 자계(magnetic Field)를 감지하여 자계의 변화량에 따른 홀 전압(hall Voltage)을 출력하는 홀 플레이트(hall Plate)와 홀 플레이트 출력 신호의 오프셋과 1/f 잡음 제거 및 디지털화를 위한 자기센서 신호처리시스템으로 구성된다. 자기센서 신호처리 시스템은 스피닝 전류 바이어싱(spinning current biasing)을 통해 자기신호로부터 오프셋과 1/f잡음 성분을 분리하고, 초퍼 및 증폭기를 통해 자기신호를 100 kHz 주파수 대역으로 변조한다. 60 kHz 차단주파수를 갖는 고역통과필터(highpass filter)를 사용하여 오프셋 및 1/f 잡음을 제거한뒤 ADC(analog to digital converter)를 통해 자기신호만을 디지털 변조한다. 증폭기 및 고역통과필터 출력은 자기신호 -53.9 dBm @ 100 kHz, 잡음성부은 -101.3 dBm @ 10 kHz이다. 최종적으로 ADC를 통과한 자기센서 출력은 -5.0 dBm @ 100 kHz이고, 오프셋 및 1/f 잡음은 -55.0 dBm @ 10 kHz이다.

Non-contact critical current measurement apparatus was developed using hall probe which measures the magnetic field distribution across the width of superconducting tape. The hall probe consists of 7 independent hall sensors which lie in a line 600 ${\mu}m$. The difference between maximum and minimum magnetic field in the magnetic filed distribution is a main parameter to determine the critical current. As preliminary research, we calculated the magnetic field intensity at the middle sensor, which is a minimum magnetic field and generated by the circular shielding current modeled by Bean model. We confirmed that there are some parameters that affect on the minimum magnetic field; the distance between superconducting layer and hall sensor, the width of superconducting tape, and the critical current distribution across the width of superconducting tape. Among these parameters, the distance between superconducting layer and hall sensor highly influences on the minimum magnetic field.
