    High-frequency lock-in - analog rectifier VS analog mixer VS digital mixer

    Which of the following 3 solution is the prefered one to generate an amplitude modulated carrier frequency? 1) Waveform / function generator chip AD9102 / AD9106 (180 MHz) + single-ended buffer + low pass filter + VGA (for programmable amplitude: 10 mV ... 1 V) + bias tee (for DC component) +...

    High-frequency lock-in - analog rectifier VS analog mixer VS digital mixer

    Thanks for the comments! Then, I will use the AD9106 with 180 MSPS together with a 2nd order LPF with fc=20 MHz... Following Nyqist, a sample rate of 25 MS/s would be sufficient for a 10 Mhz signal bandwidth. But, I thought it might be better to oversample 5x the carrier frequency? In the...

    High-frequency lock-in - analog rectifier VS analog mixer VS digital mixer

    Hi, Thanks! That makes sense and makes my decision easy. So, I will use the AD9106 that has a sample rate of 180 MHz, followed by a 2nd order 15 MHz low-pass filter. With this I should be able to generate sine waves (200 kHz - 10 MHz) with harmonics below -60 dB. Do you think that analog I/Q...

    High-frequency lock-in - analog rectifier VS analog mixer VS digital mixer

    Ok, I should be more precisely here: When I simulate low oversampling (fs=2.5*fc), the time-variant phase drift of the measurement signal's carrier frequency shows up in the demodulated amplitude signal. If the AD9833 would be just a pure DAC (without internal clock or clock multiplication)...

    Current amplifier - Shunt ammeter VS Feedback ammeter

    Thanks, I am aware of all the noise contributions. For a 1uA-diode I calculated a total noise floor of about 6 mV rms for an output of 1 V which is acceptable. Now, let me try to formulate my question more precisely: Compared to a larger feedback resistor, a voltage divider between output and...

    Current amplifier - Shunt ammeter VS Feedback ammeter

    Dear electronic tinkerers, I want to measure the current of a photo diode (1 pF, ca. 1 MOhm, 0.1-1 V pos. bias) with a large dynamic range (100 pA - 100 nA), with a high bandwidth (DC - 10 MHz) and, of course, with a good SNR of 60 dB or better. The following paper summarizes the possible...

    High-frequency lock-in - analog rectifier VS analog mixer VS digital mixer

    Dear electronic friends, I am designing a multi-channel diode sensor PCB with high-frequency excitation (500 kHz - 10 MHz) and lock-in technique. The diode is excited with a high-frequency bias voltage and the current is measured via TIA. The light ("gate") of the diode modulates the amplitude...
