Abstract

Reducing noise in measurement is an important challenge in resistive sensing. This paper presents a system based on AC-excitation and lock-in amplification. In order to evaluate the circuit ability to perform precise measurement, noise level in AC- and DC-excitation is measured. Experimental results show a promising read-out system that is capable of high noise level reduction in noisy environments. Using AC bridge excitation and lock-in amplification, the noise level is reduced by 1:55 compared with DC-excitation.
