LID - 10.3390/s23156981 [doi] LID - 6981 AB - In this study, an FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)-based borehole strain measurement system was designed that makes extensive use of digital signal processing operations to replace analog circuits. Through the formidable operational capability of FPGA, the sampled data were filtered and denoised to improve the signal-to-noise ratios. Then, with the goal of not reducing observational accuracy, the signal amplification circuit was removed, the excitation voltage was reduced, and the dynamic range of the primary adjustments was expanded to 130 dB. The system's online compilation function made it more flexible to changes in measurement parameters, allowing it to adapt to various needs. In addition, the efficiency of the equipment use was enhanced. The actual observational results showed that this study's FPGA-based borehole strain measurement system had a voltage resolution higher than 1 muV. Clear solid tides were successfully recorded in low-frequency bands, and seismic wave strain was accurately recorded in high-frequency bands. The arrival times and seismic phases of the seismic waves S and P were clearly recorded, which met the requirements for geophysical field deformation observations. Therefore, the system proposed in this study is of major significance for future analyses of geophysical and crust deformation observations.
