Provision of Lock-In Amplifier

Descriptions

The Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) department is the largest and most distinguished School of its kind in the UK, ECS has a worldwide reputation for its research, education and enterprise. The department is seeking to procure a single high performance lock in amplifier (LIA). LIAs are widely used in many area of research in the department. They are an enabling technology, important in the measurement of small signals from noise in a whole host of different experimental setups. However, there is a limitation in the frequency response and bandwidth of existing equipment that is preventing new research fields from being exploited. The purpose of this document is to set out the minimum performance requirements of a high performance LIA that will enable new research areas to be explored.
