Brief Description of Embodiments of the Invention
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a system in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. n j
Detailed Description of Embodiments of the Invention A first embodiment of the invention will be described in connection with Figure 1 Figure 1 shows a system 100 which may be used to sense the movement of objects.
The system 100 includes a guiding medium 101. The guiding medium 101 is a high impedance channel in which the reactive impedance is higher than the resistive impedance. Such a channel is suitable for the propagation of electromagnetic surface waves. In this example, the guiding medium includes a dielectric layer 102 and a conductive layer 103. This guiding medium is similar to the one described in the applicant's co-pending patent application published under number GB2494435. As will be appreciated, the high impedance channel may take other forms, as described in GB2494435.
The dielectric layer 102 is a sheet of material having a uniform thickness. The width and length of the dielectric layer 102 will vary depending on the specific application.
In this example, an upper surface 104 of the dielectric layer 102 is the surface over which surface waves are transmitted. The conductive layer 103 is also a sheet of material having a uniform thickness, The width and length of the conductive layer 103 are generally the same as those equivalent dimensions of the dielectric layer 102, but they are not necessarily the same. The conductive layer 103 is positioned against the dielectric layer 102. The dielectric layer 102 and the conductive layer 103 accordingly form a dielectric coated conductor.
The upper surface 104 of the dielectric layer 102, and hence the guiding medium 101, has a reactive impedance which is greater than its resistive impedance. Such a surface is suitable for guiding surface waves. In particular, the reactance and resistance is such that the surface is suitable for guiding Zenneck surface waves. The layer of air formed above the guiding medium acts as the transmission medium for the surface wave.
The system 100 includes a transmit launcher 105 and a receive collector 106. The system 100 also includes a transmitter 107 and a receiver 108. The transmitter 107 is arranged to transmit a signal to transmit launcher 105. The transmit launcher 105 modulates a carrier signal which is then launched onto the guiding medium 101. The receive collector 106 receives the surface waves which have propagated over the guiding medium 101. The receive collector 106 has the same construction as the transmit launcher 105, However, it operates in reverse, collecting surface waves from the guiding medium 101, rather than launching them. The receive collector 106 demodulates the carrier signal and passes the received signal to the receiver 108.
The system 100 effectively forms a communications channel in which signals may be sent from one point to another, via the guiding medium 101. Accordingly, the guiding medium 101 acts as a transmission line. As such, anything which interferes with the transmission of signals along the transmission line may be detected by measuring changes to the signals which pass along the guiding medium 101, or by measuring changes to any reflected signals at the transmit end.
It has been appreciated by the applicant that when items move close to the guiding medium 101, the signal power measured at the receiver is reduced, The insertion loss for a given object can therefore be measured, The system 100 also includes an power measurement device 109, which is located at the receiver end, The power measurement device 109 measures the signal power at the receiver 106. When an object moves closer to the guiding medium 101, the receive power is reduced, and the power measurement device 109 calculates an power loss for the movement of the object. The power measurement device may calculate insertion loss.
There are various applications for this system. For example, it is often the case that machinery includes rotating parts. Those parts often move very close to each other, and their positions are set with very small tolerances, If a part were to move too close to another, such that a touch occurs, the machinery could be damaged or broken. A guiding medium may be placed on a surface of a rotating part. The power measurement device 109 determines the insertion loss due to the position of the parts under normal operating conditions. In the event of movement of the parts in use, the power loss will increase, and this will be measured by the power measurement device 109. This can then be used to raise an alarm.
In an alternative embodiment, the system 100 may also be used to detect damage to a surface, including the appearance of gaps or movement in a surface. For example, a guiding medium 101 may be placed on a stmcturally important surface of a vehicle, such as an aircraft wing. Any movement, cracks or gaps that appear in the surface will stretch, move or break the guiding medium. Such movement will result in a drop power at the receiver 108 which can be picked up by the power measurement device.
In addition to insertion loss, the system may use channel estimation figures, or return loss. The later may be useful for the surface movement detection example. Any break in the guiding medium would result in a reflection from the broken edge. This could be detected at the transmitter end, A common element to these embodiments is the detection in changes in the transmission channels link budget to indicate some sort of disruption to the surface wave signal.
It should be noted that in an alternative embodiment, the transmit and receive ends could be co-located for return loss measurements. Furthermore, the system could be bidirectional, with transmission in both directions. A grid of bidirectional guiding medium transmission lines could be used to pin point objects/damage, Time-domain reflectrometry may be used to enhance the aforementioned techniques, Time-domain reflectrometry techniques could be extended to operate over two-dimensional structures, Figure 2 is a flow-chart showing a method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, The process begins by transmitting an electromagnetic surface wave along the guiding medium (S200), Following this, any changes in the signal transmitted along the guiding medium are measured (S201). Finally, disruption to the signal is sensed based on the measured signals (S202), Further modifications and variations of the aforementioned systems and methods may be implemented within the scope of the appended claims.
