Detecting Excitations of Pipes, Ropes, and Bars Using Piezo Sensors and Collecting Information Remotely by Matteo Cirillo, Enzo Reali, Giuseppe Soda

“…It is shown that the signals generated by the piezo assemblies, when adequately shaped, can feed the input of an RF transmitter, which in turn transfers information to a remote receiver whose readout allows for remotely analyzing information collected on the metallic elements. Considering the voltage amplitude of the signals (of the order of 300 mV) generated by the piezo sensors as a result of very light percussive excitations, the low power required for transmitting data, and the low cost of the sensing and transmitting assembly, it is conceivable that our devices could detect excitations generated even tens of kilometers away and allow for setting up an array of sensors for controlling in real time the status of pipe networks.…”
