Circuitry Fun

PreampSchematic


Seven Channel Mirnov Probe Preamplifier System


I never thought that I'd be an electronics engineer as well as a graduate student, but hey -- it works!


I'm sure you're all saying, "Hey, I thought you studied fusion! What gives?" Still there -- but trying to measure stuff.


My problem is that I'm trying to measure a signal that is O(1 V) that is riding on top of a sea of noise. Noise that's induced in the transmission lines of the cables. Hence the electronics to try and mitigate said noise.


And although the board is a means to an end (i.e. thesis data), and not quite complete (routing I/O connectors, etc) I think it's fun to do. And it looks pretty.
