    Preamplifiers
    Signal Recovery offers a line of voltage and current preamplifiers including low noise, wideband, and differential input.  All Signal Recovery’s preamplifiers are designed to work with Signal Recovery lock-in amplifiers or as stand-alone signal enhancing units.

  • Applications and Software +


    Applications and Software
    The model 5184 is a medium input impedance, AC-coupled, voltage preamplifier which features an ultra low-noise input stage. It has a frequency response from 0.5 Hz to 1 MHz and a fixed gain of x1000 (60 dB) and incorporates a special pseudodifferential input stage that can be floated to give the ground loop immunity normally associated with true differential inputs but without the associated noise penalty. It can be powered from its own internally housed (alkaline) batteries, an external low voltage supply (±15 V or ±18 V) or from the optional model PS0108 remote line power supply. This preamplifier can also be powered from most of our range of lock-in amplifiers.

    The model 5184 is ideal for use with: 
    • Medium impedance cryogenic source
    • IR detectors, such as HgCdTe, InSb and InAs
    • Increasing oscilloscope sensitivity

    The model 5182 and 5184 preamplifiers have an output impedance of 450 Ω which when connected to a 50 Ω load creates a convenient 10:1 signal attenuation.

    The preamplifiers can be controlled by Acquire software or SRInstComms.
