Phase margin optimization method and hardware realization to improve the measuring stability of LCR instrument

Abstract： To address the self-excitation issue in the measurement of capacitive impedance using LCR meters, an LCR instrument has been developed to enhance measurement stability. By analyzing the phase margin of the self-balancing bridge circuit at the measurement front-end, a phase compensation circuit has been employed to resolve the self-excitation problem caused by phase lag. Utilizing direct digital frequency synthesis combined with a phase calibration circuit design, quadrature measurement signals of accurate phase are generated. A switch-phase discriminator lock-in amplifier is used to process weak signals, which are sampled by a 16-bit analog-to-digital converter and input into the microprocessor for vector signal synthesis and output display. Compared to professional instruments, the prototype designed has achieved a relative error of up to 0.5% for resistance measurements and up to 1% for large capacitance measurements.
