Switched bridge or sensor excitation is an old technique used to gain greater sensitivity for a given power without undue power dissipation in the sensor itself. The later can be important to prevent self heating in a temperature sensor. I suspect you could get most if not all of the benefit by using a lock-in amplifier which relies on synchronous demodulation to lower the noise level. Linear Technology application note 43 page 24 shows a good example. There are also several switched bridge examples in the same application note. http://cds.linear.com/docs/Application%20Note/an43f.pdf On Tue, 14 Aug 2012 13:42:49 -0700, "Ron Ward" <n6idl...@comcast.net> wrote: >HI Robert: >WOW!
