Abstract
This research investigates methods to improve the accuracy of gas sensor measurements by mitigating the effects of voltage ripple in switching power supplies. Voltage ripple, inherent in switching power supplies, can introduce fluctuations in the power delivered to gas sensors, leading to inaccuracies in gas concentration measurements. In this study, we compare the performance of digital filtering techniques and a proposed ripple rejection method in reducing the impact of voltage ripple on gas sensor measurements. The experimental setup involves testing gas sensors under varying conditions of voltage ripple using both linear and switching power supplies. Digital filtering algorithms are applied to sensor data to attenuate voltage ripple effects, while the proposed ripple rejection method involves sensing and compensating for voltage ripple directly at the power supply input. Results from both methods are compared in terms of accuracy, precision, stability, and response time of gas sensor measurements. The findings of this study provide insights into the effectiveness of different approaches for mitigating voltage ripple effects in gas sensor applications. Furthermore, the research sheds light on practical strategies for improving the reliability and accuracy of gas sensor measurements in real-world environments.
