The Ametek/EG&G/Princeton Applied Research 5210 is a dual phase lock-in amplifier designed for precision measurement and recovery of low-level signals in high-noise environments. It simultaneously measures in-phase (X) and quadrature (Y) signal components across a 0.5 Hz to 120 kHz bandwidth, providing both Cartesian (X-Y) and polar (R-θ) output formats. The instrument achieves 130 dB dynamic reserve through Walsh Function Demodulators, ensuring excellent linearity and stability across demanding applications.
