Our previous system covered the frequency range of 0 to 1 MHz. In this new design we propose to cover the range from 0 to 10 MHz. The higher frequencies have forced us to reconsider several design decisions in view of both the physics of the problem and the performance of available electronic components. In this presentation we examine in detail the constraints faced by the designer, starting from wiring consideration to measurement techniques. We will also present the solutions we selected to overcome the limitations we discovered. The problems include phase detection, amplitude measurements, system organization and layout and finally system calibration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
