A lock-in amplifier was proposed for capacitive sensor applications. This amplifier was based on a general-purpose microcontroller and had only a charge amplifier as analog circuits. All the other functions of lock-in amplifier except for the charge amplifier were implemented with firmware and the internal resources of the microcontroller. A rectangular signal, generated by the microcontroller, was used in a sensor-driving signal instead of a conventional sinusoidal signal. This makes it possible that the phase comparison circuit in the lockin amplifier is made with analog-to-digital converter, a timer and an interrupt controller. Using the oversampling method and the rectangular driving signal, we can make it easy to implement the peak detection function with software and sample the peak-to-peak signal at charge amplifier output. A charge amplifier was proposed to cancel out the base capacitance existing in capacitive sensors structurally. The experimental results show that the lock-in amplifier operating in the supply voltage of 3.0 V cancels out the base capacitance and has good linearity.

In this study, We developed a simple and low cost capacitive pressure mapping sensor and microcontroller-base lock-in amplifier array. We developed capacitive type pressure mapping sensor by forming the electrode and adhesives on plastic films using only the printing process, and the finishing the process by bonding the two films. Lock-in amplifier array was based on a general purpose microcontroller and had only a charge amplifier as analog circuits. In this study, a $10{\times}10$ capacitive type pressure mapping sensor and lock-in amplifier array was fabricated and its characteristics were analyzed.

A typical terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system requires large, expensive, and heavy hardware such as a lock-in amplifier and a function generator. In this study, we replaced the lock-in amplifier and the function generator with a single sound card built into a typical desktop computer to significantly reduce the system size, weight, and cost. The sound card serves two purposes: 1 kHz chopping signal generation and raw data acquisition. A unique software lock-in (Python coding program to eliminate noise from raw data) method was developed and successfully extracted THz time-domain signals with a signal-to-noise ratio of ~40,000 (the intensity ratio between the peak and average noise levels). The built-in sound card with the software lock-in method exhibited sufficiently good performance compared with the hardware-based method.

Map building is the most important thing for the mobile robots navigation. It requires specific vision system such as CCD camera, range finding system, and many other things. Laser range finder has highly collimated beams can be obtained easily, thus achieving lateral resolution. Laser Diode is used for a continuous laser source. The Automatic Current Control Circuit and the Bias-T is used for mix AC signal with DC bias. This signal is used for driving Laser Diode. The main idea of the calculating distance is detecting phase shift between reference signal and detected signal by photo detector. For the signal processing, the Lock-in amplifier system is addressed in this paper. We used a diffused reflected beam to detect phase shift in this system. But this beam is minuteness signal so it can be easily buried in nose. Lock-in amplifier is used to measure the amplitude and phase of signals which are buried in noise.

Data analysis methods in lock-in amplifier based DLTS systems were discussed with regards to the signal-to-noise ratio and improvement of resolution of DLTS spectrum. The DLTS system based on wideband two-phase lock-in amplifier is shown to be the most preferabe for the studies in deep levels of low concentration. A single-temperature scanning DLTS methods in lock-in amplifier based system with the improved sensitivity is proposed. The method is tested on the characterization of deep levels in n-GaAs.

The harmonics and the DC offset in the grid can cause serious synchronization problems for grid connected inverters (GCIs) which leads not able to satisfy the IEEE 519 and p1547 standards in terms of phase and frequency variations. In order to guarantee the smooth and reliable synchronization of GCIs with the grid, Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is the crucial element. Typically, the performance of the PLL is assessed to limit the grid disturbances e.g. grid harmonics, DC Offset and voltage sag etc. To ensure the quality of GCI, the PLL should be precise in estimating the grid amplitude, frequency and phase. Therefore, in this paper a novel Robust PLL technique called Digital Lock-in Amplifier (DLA) PLL is proposed. The proposed PLL estimate the frequency variations and phase errors accurately even in the highly distorted grid voltage conditions like grid voltage harmonics, DC offsets and grid voltage sag. To verify the performance of proposed method, it is compared with other six conventional used PLLs (CCF PLL, SOGI PLL, SOGI LPF PLL, APF PLL, dqDSC PLL, MAF PLL). The comparison is done by simulations on MATLAB Simulink. Finally, the experimental results are verified with Single Phase GCI Prototype.

System을 통해 출력되는 신호를 측정할 때 정확한 측정을 방해하는 요소로 잡음이 있다. 이런 신호 측정의 방해 요소인 잡음을 제거 하는 방법 중의 하나로 Lock-in Amp(LIA)가 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 잡음 신호의 제거를 위해 사용 하는 LIA를 제작 하고 특성을 파악 하였으며 RF통신을 이용하여 무선 형태로 제작 하였다. 현재 상용화된 LIA는 프로브를 통한 유선으로 측정신호의 입력을 받게 되지만 본 논문에서 제작된 LIA는 무선신호 형태로 입력 하게 된다. RF통신의 케리어 주파수는 447.9[MHz]로 Digital GMSK 변복조방식을 이용하였다. LIA의 제작은 Dual Phase Sensitive Detecter을 사용하였으며, 주요 구성 요소인 Phase Locked Loop, Phase Shifter, Phase Sensitive Detector, Low Pass Filter등의 구조와 특성을 조사하였다.

Measurements of interface states in a MOS capacitor by DLTS system using wideband monophase lock-in amplifier are discussed. A new signal analysis method that takes into account the bias pulse width and the gate off width is presented to remove the errors in the measured parameters of interface states resulting from the traditional method which neglects the effect of those widths. Theoretical calculations are made for the parameters related to the rate window, signal to noise ratio, and the energy resolution. On the grounds of this discussion, interface states of the MOS capacitor on p-type substrate of (110) orentation are measured with the optimal gate-off width with respect to the S/N ratio and the energy resolution. The results are interface state density of the order of 10**10 (cm-\ulcornereV**-1) to 10**11 (cm-\ulcornereV**-1) in the energy range of Ev+0.15(dV) to Ev+0.5(eV), and constant capture cross section of the order of 10**-16 (cm\ulcorner.

Islanding detection is one of the most important issues for the distributed generation (DG) systems connected to the power grid. The conventional passive islanding detection methods inherently have a non-detection zone (NDZ), and active islanding detection methods may deteriorate the power quality of a power system. This paper proposes a novel hybrid islanding detection method based on Digital Lock-In Amplifier with no NDZ by monitoring the harmonics present in the grid. Proposed method detects islanding by passively monitoring the grid voltage harmonics and verify it by injecting small perturbation for only three-line cycles. Unlike FFT for the harmonic extraction, DLA HC have lower computational burden, moreover, DLA can monitor harmonic in real time, whereas, FFT has certain propagation delay. The simulation results are presented to highlight the effectiveness of the proposed technique. In order to prove the performance of the proposed method it is compared with several passive islanding detection methods. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method exhibits outstanding performance as compared to the conventional methods.

전동기나 발전기와 같은 회전기기에 주로 발생하는 주기외란은 시스템 성능을 저하시키는 특성으로서 고급제어시스템 구현을 위하여 반드시 보상되어야 한다. 본 논문은 신호처리기법의 일종인 Lock In Amplifier(LIA) 알고리즘 기반 외란보상 제어기를 제안한다. 제안하는 제어규칙은 공칭제어기와 보조제어기로 구성되며 전자는 외란을 고려하지 않은 시스템 모델에 대하여 상태궤환 제어기법으로 산출되며 후자는 LIA 기법을 이용하여 외란특성을 실시간으로 추정하여 연산되어진다. 제안하는 제어시스템은 기존의 결정적 외란으로부터 발생되었던 실시간 제어오차를 월등히 개선하는 장점을 가지고 있다. 실시간 전동기 제어장치를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능의 우수성 및 타당성을 검증한다.
