Accelerometer design: the STEP case (II)
SQUID read
out (Common
Mode &
Differential
Mode)
The accelerometer is differential, but reduces the 2
degrees of freedom of the motion to 1
Ž
super-critical
rotation in 1-D not allowed,
fast spin not allowed
,
active
self centering needed
(requires changing supercurrents in
the suspension coils…)
