Popis: In this paper, a sensor based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) piezoelectric thin film was designed and fabricated to detect wrist motion signals. A series of dynamic experiments have been carried out, including the contrast experiments of different materials and force-charge signal characterization. The experimental results show that when the excitation signal exceeds 15 Hz, the sensitivity of the sensor is always stable at 3.10 pC/N. The signal acquisition experiment of the wrist motion has been carried out by using this sensor. The experiment results show that, with the advantages of small size, good flexibility, and high sensitivity, this wrist PVDF sensor can be used to detect the wrist motion signals with weak amplitude, low frequency, strong interference, and randomness.
