What does lock-in amplifier do?
Lock-in amplifiers are used to detect and measure very small AC signalsall the way down to a few nanovolts. Accurate measurements may be made even when the small signal is obscured by noise sources many thousands of times larger.
What is the purpose for dual phase lock-in amplifier?
A complete digital dual-phase lock-in amplifier system based on DSP and LabVIEW was designed. It can extract the weak sinusoidal signals submerged by noise. This design has the advantages of high accuracy, low cost and portability, and its update and transplantation are easy.
What is dynamic reserve?
"Dynamic reserve" is a term used in lock-in amplifiers to define their ability to recover the signal from a determined noise level. Its regular definition is the ratio of the largest tolerable noise signal to the full-scale signal. Dynamic reserve is usually expressed in a logarithmic scale (dB).
