A Linear Variable Differential Transfer (LVDT) conditioner for the bundle profile monitor of AmPS
Abstract
Commercially available integrated circuits for linear variable differential transfer (LVDT) which could be applied to bundle profile monitors of the Amsterdam Pulse Stretcher (AmPS) were examined. The principles of a LVDT are explained. It is a tranducer to sense displacements, suited for radioactive environments. The signal conditioner is required to get information about the iron core into the transducer. The temperature behavior and the calibration of the conditioners are discussed.
