- Abstract:
- The multi-component vibration calibration device at PTB consists of a triaxial shaker which is suitable and convenient for calibrating multi-axial seismometers. Three laser vibrometers are furthermore utilised as references. The frequency range was further extended for a European research project. Instead of a closed-loop control system limiting the vibration frequency down to 0.4 Hz, a signal generator is now used to provide the excitation voltage to the amplifier of the shaker in open-loop mode. This excites the shaker yielding vibrations with significantly lower frequencies. The first test measurements with a seismometer were carried out. The results demonstrate that a calibration down to 10 mHz is easily achievable.
