DEMODULATOR
The demodulator consists of a diode bridge that rectifies the ac signal
from the sensor cell to a dc signal. The oscillator driving current, I
ref
(the
sum of the dc currents through two transformer windings), is kept a
constant by an integrated circuit operational amplifier (op amp). The
output of the demodulator is a current directly proportional to pressure,
i.e.,
