Include modal analysis of lightweight structures and shock measurement. Low frequency multi point modal measurements are subject to
individual phase/gain errors associated with the lower corner frequency of the QVC.
The ratiometric nature of modal analysis however reduces transfer function uncertainty to the associated lower corner frequency variations of individual QVCs.

S ub-miniature triaxial vibration transducer comprising three KONIC A/25/E inserts bonded orthogonally into a hard anodised aluminium housing.
The inserts are electrically insulated, individually and from the housing, thus
eliminating ground loop interference. The additional mechanical isolation implicit in the construction provides also near elimination
of strain induced error.
The spatial response of a structure to dynamic forcing may lead to erroneous single axis vibration or shock measurement, due to the
inherent directional property of the transducer.

Highest sensitivity multiple shear plate vibration transducer, intended for micro g level measurement. Virtual immunity to strain input side effects provides guarantee of low frequency measurement integrity. System noise
level of 10-2pC is equivalent to 1mg. With bandwidth restricted to 2kHz, 1 octave below resonance, noise floor should be significantly below this.
Noise level vs. upper corner frequency for the CA/04/N charge amplifier, A/800 source and nominal l0Mtr. cable is shown in Fig.1. Bear in mind that charge amplifier noise increases as a function of input capacitance - noise
assessment should be made with the charge amplifier input correctly terminated.
The transducer adds mass at its point of attachment to a structure, thus imposes a transparency constraint above which data corruption will be excessive.
