1、引言
隨著現代科學技術的發展，在科研與生產過程中人們越來越需要從復雜高強度的噪聲中檢測出有用的微弱信號，因此對微弱信號的檢測成為當前科研的熱點。微弱信號并不意味著信號幅度小，而是指被噪聲淹沒的信號，“微弱”也僅是相對于噪聲而言的。只有在有效抑制噪聲的條件下有選擇的放大微弱信號的幅度，才能提取出有用信號。微弱信號檢測技術的應用相當廣泛，在生物醫學、光學、電學、材料科學等相關領域顯得愈發重要。
2、方案論證
針對微弱信號的檢測的方法有很多，比如濾波法、取樣積分器、鎖相放大器等。下面就針對這幾種方法做一簡要說明。
方案一：濾波法。
在大部分的檢測儀器中都要用到濾波方法對模擬信號進行一定的處理，例如隔離直流分量，改善信號波形，防止離散化時的波形混疊，克服噪聲的不利影響，提高信噪比等。常用的噪聲濾波器有：帶通、帶阻、高通、低通等。但是濾波方法檢測信號不能用于信號頻譜與噪聲頻譜重疊的情況，有其局限性。雖然可以對濾波器的通頻帶進行調節，但其噪聲抑制能力有限，同時其準確性與穩定性將大打折扣。
在Multisim 10軟件環境下，設計一種由運算放大器構成的精確可控矩形波信號發生器，結合系統電路原理圖重點闡述了各參數指標的實現與測試方法。通過改變RC電路的電容充、放電路徑和時間常數實現了占空比和頻率的調節，通過多路開關投入不同數值的電容實現了頻段的調節，通過電壓取樣和同相放大電路實現了輸出電壓幅值的調節并提高了電路的帶負載能力，可作為頻率和幅值可調的方波信號發生器。Multisim 10仿真分析及應用電路測試結果表明，電路性能指標達到了設計要求。
