Abstract
This paper presents a simulation of high-speed nonuniform random sampling in a superimposed fiber Bragg gratings (SFBGs) interrogation system. The simulated Gauss SFBGs are used to generate a nonuniform sensing pulse train during each scanning cycle. Six different conditions that can cause nonuniform sampling are simulated, and a random sine-wave driving method to improve the driving speed is proposed. An 11.8 kHz dynamic strain is measured by generating an additive nonuniform randomly distributed 12 kHz optical sensing pulse train from a mean 2 kHz sinusoidal periodically changing scanning frequency and three SFBGs. Four conditions that can improve the sampling results are also simulated.
