Comparion of the curve A, B in Fig. 3, it In order to etend the frequency repone of the low-frequency magnetic vibration velocity enor, the circuit compenation method i required. There are two compenation form in the circuit compenate, which are feedback compenation and erie compenation, and the feedback compenation i with lower natural frequency, while the damping ratio i reduced, tability i poor, but alo it i eay to produce ocillation [5]. It i ued in erie compenation. The enor output voltage i in erie with a compenation network C(), o that the pole of the original tranfer function G() i eliminated by the C() zero point, C()' pole become the pole of the tranfer function G() after paing compenation, o the low-frequency output characteritic of the enor can been changed by changing the compenation network' pole. The tranfer function of the compenation apect were given in Literature [5-8], equation (8) below, thi tranfer function can be decompoed by three parallel filtering part, namely all-pa, low-pa, band-pa filtering link. C () + ξ+ + ξ + ( ξ ξ ) + ξ+ + ξ+ + +, (8) where ξ i the damping ratio of compenation apect, which reflect the frequency characteritic in the ocillation link, and doe not directly reflect the frequency repone of the filter circuit. So in thi paper, the damping ratio ξ i replaced by the equivalent quality factor, i a parameter which reflect the frequency repone of the filter circuit.
