基于开关电容技术的锁定放大器设计

锁定放大是微弱信号检测的重要手段。基于相关检测理论，利用开关电容的开关实现锁定放大器中乘法器的功能，提出开关电容和积分器相结合以实现相关检测的方法，并设计出一种锁定放大器。该锁定放大器将微弱信号转化为与之相关的方波，通过后续电路得到正比于被测信号的直流电平，为后续采集处理提供方便。测量数据表明锁定放大器前级可将10-6 A的电流转换为10-1 V的电压，后级通过带通滤波器级联可将信号放大1×105倍。该方法在降低噪声的同时，可对微弱信号进行放大，线性度较高、稳定性较好。 Abstract:  Lock-in Amplifying（LIA）is one of important means for weak signal detection. Based on cross-correlation detection theory， switch in the swithched capacitor was used as multiplier of LIA， and a new method of correlation detection was proposed combining swithched capacitor with integrator. A kind of LIA was designed which can convert the weak signal to square-wave， then DC proportional to measured signal was obtained through follow-up conditioning circuit， providing convenience for signal acquisition and processing. The measured data shows that the electric current（10-6 A） can be changed into voltage（10-1 V） by LIA， and the signal is magnified 1×105 times by cascade band-pass filter. The noise is suppressed and the weak signal is amplified. It has the advantages of good linearity and stability.
