This study presents the outcome of research into membrane vibrations in a 3D space performed using a system based on position sensitive device (PSD) sensors. Here, measurements were conducted for harmonic vibrations. The use of such detectors for assessing the movement of objects within a plane or space requires determining the position of more than one marker. The article reviews two methods for detecting the position of several light spots on a sensor's photosensitive plane: a marker sequential control method, and a method based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) that employs a square wave control signal. The authors present an approach to improving measurement accuracy for both methods. They also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each.
