Lock-in amplifiers let you measure very small signals that would otherwise get lost in the noise of even the best available amplifiers. Originally analog circuits, lock-in amplifiers have evolved into ...
In Part 1, I discussed the background behind lock-in amplifiers. Here, I’ll cover analog and digital lock-in amplifiers, software-defined radio, de-embedding, and the hardware and software ...
Lock-in amplifiers were invented in the 1930s [1, 2, 3] and commercialized [4] in the mid 20 th century as electrical instruments that are capable of extracting signal amplitudes and phases in ...
