Preamplifier SR550 — FET input preamplifier
The SR550 Voltage Preamplifier is designed to work with any SRS lock-in amplifier. Preamplifiers provide gain close to the experimental detector, before the signal-to-noise ratio is permanently degraded by cable capacitance and pickup. The preamplifier minimizes noise and pickup in the connecting lines and reduces measurement time in noise-limited experiments.
SR550 FET Preamplifier
The SR550 Voltage Preamplifier is designed to work with any SRS lock-in amplifier. Preamplifiers provide gain close to the experimental detector, before the signal-to-noise ratio is permanently degraded by cable capacitance and pickup. The preamplifier minimizes noise and pickup in the connecting lines and reduces measurement time in noise-limited experiments. When used with the SR510 or SR530, the preamplifier gain is automatically chosen to optimize noise performance without compromising dynamic reserve. When used with the any SRS lock-in, the preamplifier gain is automatically set to its maximum value. Power and control signals are brought from the lock-in by a 9-pin cable (included). The SR550 may also be operated independently from the lock-ins by applying appropriate biasing (±20 VDC, +5 VDC).
