ABSTRACT:
A system and method employing a piezoelectric sensor for quasi-static force measurement substantially free of drift and with improved low-frequency response. The output signal from the sensor is sampled and integrated using digital techniques that include a drift compensation algorithm. The algorithm continually monitors the sensor output and estimates bias errors that will cause the output to drift.
