Due to the hardware characteristics of the frontend analog circuitry, it can affect the results of the signal under test. This paper proposes a method for initialization calibration when starting up the digital lock-in amplifier’s host computer, aiming to ensure that the frontend analog circuitry operates in an optimal state. It calibrates the voltage offset, maximizes the compensation for gain errors introduced by the analog circuitry, and phase shifts introduced by the asynchrony between the DDS output signal and the ADC sampling process. Test results show that this scheme can compensate for the aforementioned errors, significantly improving the accuracy and stability of the lock-in amplifier when demodulating near-field signals.展开更多

Like many low phase noise oscillators, a cavity magnonic oscillator faces the challenge that its narrow resonance profile is not well suited for injection locking amplification. This work presents an improved design for such an oscillator configured as an injection locking amplifier(ILA) with an extended lock range. The proposed design features a two-stage architecture, consisting of a pre-amplification oscillator and a cavity magnonic oscillator, separated by an isolator to prevent backward locking.By optimizing the circuit parameters of each stage, the proposed design achieved an order of magnitude increase in lock range, when compared to its predecessors, all while preserving the phase noise quality of the input, making it well-suited for narrowband, sensitive signal amplification. Furthermore, this work provides a method for using oscillators with high spectral purity as injection locking amplifiers.展开更多
