The OE1311/OE1351 module lock-in amplifier is the latest core technology product, featuring high performance and cost-effectiveness. Utilizing digital modulation, output filter, and high-precision 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with the new Zynq architecture, it can accurately and quickly measure effective signal components submerged in high noise. Moreover, the OE1311/OE1351 lock-in amplifier can simultaneously measure the amplitude and phase information of the input signal. It’s comparable to the top technology of the international industry in terms in core parameters such as measurement accuracy, operating frequency range, signal-to-noise ratio, and dynamic reserve. Newly developed functions such as multi-harmonic measurement, oscilloscope, and spectrum analyzer enable the OE1311/OE1351 to meet various scientific and industrial applications.
With the low-noise analog front-end amplifier, the OE1311/OE1351 lock-in amplifier can effectively handle differential or single-ended signals with an equivalent input noise of 5 nV/√Hz. The input impedance is 10 MΩ, and the full-scale sensitivity is 1nV to 5V. Additionally, the OE1311/OE1351 can measure input current signals with a front-end current gain of 10⁶ V/A. The dynamic range exceeds 120 dB, allowing adjustment of the internal programmable gain amplifier based on the amplitude of the input signal to change the system's dynamic reserve. The high-precision 24-bit ADC's sampling rate is 4 MSPS, and the anti-aliasing filter in front of the ADC can effectively prevents signal aliasing.
The OE1311/OE1351 digital lock-in amplifier's reference signal can be a sine wave or square wave chosen based on the user's needs or an internally synthesized reference signal. When it is set to the internal reference signal mode, the instrument's high-precision oscillator and digital synthesis algorithm generate sine wave signals for multiplication with the input signal, with almost no phase noise impact. The digital phase shifting technology achieves a phase resolution of 1 µdeg. The internal reference signal mode operates in the frequency range of 1 µHz to 1 MHz. The OE1311/OE1351 can also use an external reference signal mode, with sine wave signals and TTL logic levels as external references. The rising edge or falling edge of the external reference signal triggers the internal digital phase-locked loop (DPLL). Based on the reference signal's frequency, the OE1311/OE1351 can detect harmonic signals up to 65535 times the fundamental frequency, but the maximum harmonic frequency can not exceed the operating frequency of 1 MHz.
The time constant of the OE1311/OE1351 can be set between 1 µs and 3 ks. The output low-pass filter's roll-off rate can be set to 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 dB/oct. This low-pass digital filter is implemented using an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter structure with a signal processing sampling rate of 4 MHz. The digital modulation method and filter structure of the OE1311/OE1351 ensure higher dynamic reserve (>120 dB), precise phase (absolute phase error <1°), zero DC drift and good orthogonality compared to analog lock-in amplifiers. When the frequency of the input signal is lower than 1kHz, the OE1311/OE1351 can use a synchronous filter to eliminate the harmonic impact of the reference signal, ensuring fast detection of effective low-frequency signals.
Based on a 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the OE1311/OE1351 can generate sine wave signals with a frequency range of 1 µHz to 100/500 kHz. The phase of the signal is related to the instrument's internal oscillator and it's amplitude can be set. The maximum amplitude of the sine wave signal generated by the OE1311/OE1351 signal generator is 5 Vrms.
The OE1311/OE1351 features a standard 1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port and a RS232 serial port (optional XH2.54-4PIN Port with TTL logic level). Users can effectively use all testing functions of the OE1311/OE1351, including setting reasonable control parameters of the instrument and reading the data measured by the instrument.

Conventional lock-in amplifiers can only measure the fundamental frequency or a certain harmonic component at the same time. Therefore, for some cases that require the amplitude and phase of multiple frequency components at the same time, traditional lock-in amplifiers are unable to meet the measurement requirements.The digital side of the OE1311/OE1351 combines FPGA and ARM technology to realize higher processing bandwidth and more flexible digital architecture, with a digital processing accuracy of up to 48 bits, allowing up to 8 easy frequency analysis signal inputs at the same time, and 8 demodulators that can be freely configured for amplitude and phase to realize free combination. demodulators can be freely configured amplitude and phase to realize free combination.

The OE1311/OE1351 features a built-in independent 2-channel digital PID controllers, the PID sampling rate can reach up to 4 MSa/s. The 2 PID controllers are tightly connected to the lock-in amplifier and can take all input interfaces and measurement signals as inputs and provide feedback via signal amplitudes, phase shifts, output interfaces and more. The PID provide stable and accurate control, can handle changes in system dynamics effectively, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
