ADVANCED INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS
(Control Systems)

Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 60

Answer any FIVE questions
All questions carry equal marks
*****

1 (a) Explain how a capacitive transducer can be used to monitor the thickness of an insulating
sheet in motion, without making physical contact. Comment on linearity and sensitivity of
the system.

D
(b) Five plates each of area 3 cm x 3 cm overlapping each other with spacing 0.25 mm are
used as displacement transducer. If a movable set is displaced linearly along the plane of

L
plates. Calculate the sensitivity of the transducer in pf/cm.

R
2 (a) Describe the constructional features of magnetostrictive transducer and obtain relationship
between input and output.
(b) Explain how acceleration can be measured by using magnetostriction phenomenon.

3 (a)
O
What are the Direct digital transducers? Give an example and show how output signals

W
are obtained.
(b) Explain the problems faced in encoding the angular displacements and give suggestions to
avoid them.

4 (a)
(b)

T U
Define inverse transducers and explain their role in feedback measurement systems.
Explain how a dc wheat stone bridge can be self balanced using negative feedback. Show
how self balancing is done: (i) mechanically (ii) electrically.

6
(a)

(b) N
Explain the technique of frequency modulation and show it is the most efficient technique

J
of analog modulation.
What are the side bands of modulated signal and explain their presence in FM signals.

Differentiate between the following:

(a) Analog and digital multiplexers.
(b) Single and multichannel data acquisition systems.

7 (a) Explain land-line and radio telemetry systems.

(b) Explain the PCM telemetry system and show that it can be used for both land-line and
radio telemetry.

8 (a) Explain the each stage of data logger with neat block diagram.
(b) Distinguish between Analog and Digital indicators and discuss the means adopted for
induction of measured value.
