1 A chaotic lock-in amplifier Brian K. Spears Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 7000 East Avenue, Livermore CA Nicholas B. Tufillaro Measurement Research Lab, Agilent Laboratories, Agilent Technologies, 5301 Stevens Creek Blvd., Santa Clara, CA (Dated: August 28, 2007) We describe a method using a chaotic reference signal and a synchronized receiver for lock-in amplification. This measurement technique is compared with conventional lock-in methods using a periodic reference signal. The apparatus can be build with standard parts in a undergraduate electronics lab (a photodiode detector and receiver, and a simple biasing circuit) and allows students to explore a novel measurement technique based on chaotic dynamics. I. INTRODUCTION A lock-in amplifier acts as a high-gain narrow-band filter which can be a great aid in recovering a small response signal buried in noise [1]. The basic building blocks of a lock-in amplifier, which can be implemented with either analog or digital electronics, consist of amplifiers, filters, and phase-sensitive-detectors [2]. A simple diagram for the signal path in a conventional lock-in amplifier is shown in Fig. 1. The reference signal of a conventional lock-in amplifier is a periodic signal with a narrow power spectrum. In this paper we describe the construction of a lock-in amplifier that uses a chaotic reference signal. Since a chaotic lock-in amplifier uses a broad-band reference signal it might have some advantages in terms of signal capture time compared with a conventional lock-in amplifier that typically makes use of a swept-sine method to capture the response signal over a wide-bandwidth [3]. The work described here is exploratory though, in that it shows how a lock-in amplifier can be built but it does not describe possible applications. The key ingredient of a lock-in amplifier is a phase-sensitive-detector, so in this paper we address the related questions of how to phase-lock the stimulus and response signals from the chaotic lock-in amplifier, and how to modulate and demodulate the stimulus and response signals making use FIG. 1: Schematic for signals in a conventional lock-in amplifier.

Not surprisingly, the inspiration for this measurement technique comes from recent discoveries showing how to synchronize chaotic systems the phenomenon known as chaotic synchronization[4]. There is now a vast literature describing how to exploit chaotic synchronization for communication systems [5], however there appears to be less work in the area of applying recent discoveries in nonlinear dynamics to new engineering solutions for problems in measurement and sensing. The basic schematic for a simple chaotic lock-in amplifier is shown in Fig. 2. This design just mimics the conventional lock in amplifier by mixing a signal from the chaotic oscillator with the stimulus signal and looking at the sum frequency for up-conversion, and then demodulating by multiplication and filtering for down-conversion [6]. This naive approach works in that it is possible to recover the amplitude of the response signal, however it suffers from substantial nonlinear distortion which can not be easily removed. The source of the in-band distortion is the sum and difference products generate by the broadband harmonics of the chaotic oscillator with the stimulus signal. The next section shows a method to improve the recovered signal fidelity by creating an inverse system filter to remove the in-band signal contributions from the reference channel.

INVERSE SYSTEM DESIGN FOR A CHAOTIC LOCK-IN AMPLIFIER In order to recover the response signal, and to simultaneously systematically correct for nonlinear distortion, we use an inverse system approach for the design of the modulation and demodulation of the stimulus and response signals [7]. The basic schematic for this design is shown in Fig. 3. The inverse systems approach is essentially a method for inverting (the non-transient behavior of) a nonlinear dynamical system which is a generalization of the method for inverting linear dynamical systems [8]. Inverse systems have been proposed for chaotic communications and the set-up usually requires a more complicated transmitter and receiver design than that required for the lock-in amplifier described here since the modulating carrier for communications applications often needs to be re-generated by the receiver [9]. For lock-in amplifier amplification applications, however, we often have direct access to the reference signal modulating the stimulus signal. In a conventional lock-in, this would be a periodic modulation signal and it would be generated by the lock-in amplifier itself, or many lock-in amplifiers also provide an input port for the modulating signal, which is then used for demodulating the response signal. The demodulation process described here must undo the chaotic modulation in the response signal. The main advantage of the inverse system design is that the modulation/demodulation process is, conceptually at least, straightforward and it can systematically correct for the complex in-band nonlinear distortion products produced by mixing the signal and reference. A (obvious) disadvantage is the reliability of the method with respect to noise this is examined in more detail in section IV. Instead of transmitting a periodic reference signal, for the chaotic lock-in we transmit one or more of the timedomain signals of the state variables sampled from the reference signal, that is from the chaotic dynamical system which is generating the reference signal. The reference signal for our chaotic lock-in differs in some significant ways from a conventional lock-in. First, instead of direct multiplication of the stimulus and reference signal for up-conversion conventional mixing in a chaotic lock-in the mixed stimulus and reference signal is also used in the generation of the reference signal itself, a process we call differential mixing (or differential upconversion) to distinguish it from multiplicative mixing (see section III). That is, the stimulus signal is coupled into the reference signal generator. The transmitted signal sent to the channel, or used characterize the response of a sample in the channel, is the mixed product of the stimulus signal and (stimulus dependent) reference signal. For example if the stimulus signal is generated by a light-emitting-diode (LED), then instead of periodically chopping the optical beam, we instead would chaotically modulated the intensity of the optical beam by the the reference signal either using a variable polarizer or by directly modulating the current source of the LED. Up to the differential mixing of the reference for modulating and demodulating, the proposed chaotic lock-in amplification method superficially resembles that of a conventional lock-in in that we rely on the conventional mixing and filtering for signal recovery. Not shown in Figure 3 are some additional features that are easily added. For instance, the chaotic reference signal is usually designed around a desired center frequency and then band-limited around this frequency using a tunable linear filter previous work has shown that this process does not adversely affect signal recovery and synchronization [10]. Also, for quadrature modulation we can add a Hilbert transform filter to the reference generator and use this to generate both quadrature components needed for the complex reference signal [11]. This last feature is crucial for applying the chaotic lock-in to network analysis measuring both the (linear) magnitude and phase response of device, sample, or channel under test. III. CHAOTIC REFERENCE SIGNAL DESIGN The chaotic reference signal is designed to include the following properties: (i) it should transmit the input signal explicitly which requires that the original system and the inverse system are the same order, that is the same relative degree, preferably degree zero [12], (ii) the transmit and receive signals should self synchronize which implies that the difference system design should have a fixed point at the origin, (iii) the synchronization should be robust against small perturbations which implies that the fixed point should be hyperbolic [13], and (iv) the transients should decay quickly which implies that the eigenvalues of the fixed point should be largely negative. Lastly, we would like a reference signal generator that is implementable as a simple analog circuit; a good survey of possible circuits from which to design these properties is presented by Sprott [14, 15]. To meet these conditions we designed a nonautonomous, u(t), three-dimensional oscillator, x = (x 1, x 2, x 3 ), with the following form [7]: Modulator Equations: ẋ = A x + b f(x, u) (1)
3 3 y = c T x + f(x, u) (2) f = (x 1 + DC) 2 u (3) Inverse Demodulator: ż = A z + b (y c T ) z (4) ũ = f 1 (z, y c T z) (5) Difference System: ḋ = (A b c T ) d (6) d = x z (7) In this systems of equations u(t) is stimulus signal and (x 1 + DC) is the modulation signal. The term DC is a constant offset. The modulator, x 1, is a chaotic oscillation that can be sent through a band-limiting filter so it has a well defined center frequency which is typically much greater than the center frequency of the stimulus signal u(t). The bandwidth chosen for the filter would be application dependent. For large signal capture it could be a low-pass filter with a cut-off determined by the Nyquist frequency of the receiver. Other applications could use a band-pass filter centered on a signal of interest. The performance the system depends on the details of the filter, and the impact of the filter choice on the lock-in characteristics are not explored in detail here, though simple experiments with filters of different bandwidths supports this expectation. The transmitted signal after up-conversion is (x 1 (t) + DC) u(t). The response signal after down-conversion is f = (x 1 (t) + DC) 2 u(t). That is, for our purpose here it is enough to consider the simplest case where c = 0 so that y = f. The function f 1 is the inverse of f with respect to u. This response signal is then used as the forcing term to the inverse demodulator and this system, when integrated and synchronized, produces ũ(t) which should the original stimulus signal u(t) subject only to channel distortion and relatively uncontaminated by channel noise and mixer distortion. As a first test of the feasibility of the method we ran simulations where the channel is simply modeled by additive noise to the transmitted signal. Fig. 4 shows the synchronization of the chaotically modulated signal with the receiver and Fig. 5. shows a comparison of the the test signal u the output of the inverse system ũ. As hoped the simulations show that synchronization is archived after only a few oscillations and inverse method, qualitatively at least, corrects for the distortion and results in a good match between the input signal and the demodulated signal. To quantitatively test the feasibility and robustness of the method we built a simple electronic system for evaluating the lock-in measurement technique using a chaotic reference signal. FIG. 4: Simulation showing the test signal up-converted with chaotic reference signal and its synchronization with the receiver. The unsynchronized signal is represented by the dashed curve. FIG. 5: Simulation showing a comparisons of the input test signal and demodulated test signal before synchronization (dashed curve). IV. CHAOTIC LOCK-IN TEST APPARATUS We built a simple electronic system to test the feasibility of using a chaotic reference signal and an inverse system design for lock-in signal detection. For our apparatus we want a system in which we can make a direct comparison to conventional lock-in detection using a periodic reference signal. We therefore built a software lock-in where the transmitted signal is created in software and sent through an electronic arbitrary wave form generator (essentially an digital to analog converter (D/A) to an light emitting diode (the transmitter) and then detected with a photo-detector and amplifier circuit (the receiver) which is then converted back to a digital form with a analog to digital converter (A/D). Noise is added to the system by the transmission channel. The amount of noise added by the channel is determined
4 4 FIG. 6: Modulated signal and spectrum for periodic reference FIG. 7: Recovered signal and spectrum for periodic reference by the distance between the transmitter and receiver, and the amount of background lighting (rooms lights on or off). All the essential signal processing is done in software for both a periodic or chaotic reference signal, so this allows for an almost direct comparison between different reference signals designs since the channel properties and the electronics are identical for different type of lock-in detection methods. The optical transmitter is a red LED with appropriate electronics for variable biasing. The optical receiver is a photodiode and amplifier with is sensitive to the visible and IR spectrum ( nm). The control and data collection is done with A/D and D/A boards with 16 bit dynamic range and data collection is in the range of 50 KHz. Calibration methods are used to compensate for any nonlinearity in the transmitter and detector, and noise is easily introduced into the channel by separating the distance between the transmitter and receiver. A direct comparison is made between difference lock-in schemes by keeping the system configuration identical when comparing different lock-in techniques. In order to compare the two different lock-in methods we attempted to estimate the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and total-harmonic-distortion (THD) for each received signal. For lock-in using a periodic reference signal the transmitted signal is a sine wave with frequency of 100 Hz and the reference signal is a sine wave with frequency 1000 Hz. The modulated and recovered signals are shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The recovered signal and spectrum show that the noise SNR is about 70dB above the noise floor with little harmonic distortion. The analogous experiment for a chaotic lock-in is shown in Figs. 8 and 9. Here an examination of the power spectral density of the recovered signal shows there is a bit more harmonic-distortion (as shown, for instance, by slight differences the time domain plot), and that the signal is about 55db above the noise floor. It is important to note that the chaotic lock-in method FIG. 8: Modulated signal and spectrum for chaotic reference FIG. 9: Recovered signal and spectrum for chaotic reference

The next two figures show the estimate SNR and THD for each method for increase signal level. Comparing the two graphs show a similar performance at input signal amplitude, but that the standard lock-in performs better under most conditions. The over all quality of the chaotic lock-in performance is erratic in comparison. A more detailed examination of this erratic performance reveals it is associated with intermitted loss of synchronization. The conclusion we take away from the graphs is that when chaotic lock-in system achieves and maintains synchronization, it provides acceptable lock-in performance, but that the current design does not adequately provide for reliable synchronization. We are currently exploring modifications to our design that attempt to achieve a more stable and robust synchronization in the face of significant channel noise. V. CONCLUSION We described and demonstrated a lock-in measurement technique that uses a chaotic reference signal and an inverse system design to compensate for the nonlinear distortion introduced by the broad-band reference signal. This measurement technique allows motivated students (perhaps as part of a senior research project) to explore a novel measurement technique based using a chaotic system. The current design is not able to achieve a robust lock-in in systems with significant channel noise, and this and this is one of many topics that can be further explored in this system. FIG. 11: Chaotic lock-in figures of merit (dashed curve is simulation). with distortion correction using an inverse system design is able to both synchronize and accurately recover a clean input signal in the face of significant channel noise.
