在一篇关于斩波放大器的论文中看到这样一句话“The conventional chopper amplifier needs a higher cutoff frequency than fchop”“To prevent attenuation of input signal which be converted to fchop, the cutoff frequency of chopper amplifiers should be higher than the chopping frequency,”怎么理解截止频率和斩波频率的关系?
First, the chopper frequency must higher than the input frequency to modulate the offset to the high-frequency domain. Second, the cut-off frequency of the low pass filter is used to decide the effect of fitting modulated offset signal to DC. Finally, the offset is disappeared. Hence, the relationship of chopper frequency and the input signal is needed to concern the cut-off frequency to avoid reduce the swing of output.
