Note: An approach to measurement of low frequency oscillation amplitude of discharge current of in-orbit Hall thruster.

This paper provides a method to measure the amplitude of low frequency oscillation under the on-track working condition, and realizes the sampling by means of adding the circuit design of sampling, low pass filtering by 3 dB at 48.2 kHz, detection and integrating in the filtering unit. The experimental results prove that the measuring device of merely 0.8 g can quantitatively reflect the amplitude of low frequency oscillation in Hall thruster and the maximum deviation of experiment data and theory data is 10% FS.
