Abstract:

Many issues like large size, poor response time and accuracy which were plaguing the performance of the conventional Photo Catalytic Processes were overcome by Photo Catalytic Sensor (PCS) proposed by Whig and Ahmad in 2014. The continuing advancements in the field of sensor interface development are to calibrate and correct the inherent non-idealities present in transducers forced us to work in this area. The variations of various internal parameters based on the transfer characteristics of novel PCS resulting from Photocatalytic oxidation of organic compounds has been carried out by Whig and Ahmad in 2015 and it is found that the major contributors to non-idealness are typically the nonlinear response to stimulus (gain), the offset, and the temperature dependence of one or both of these factors. Conventionally the calibration of the sensor has been done manually in the laboratory prior to the actual deployment in the system. This requires a lot of manual computation highly skilled manpower. To make this tedious procedure easy and to make PCS sensor more accurate, a novel sensor calibration with built-in calibration registers using FPGAs is proposed.
