Are you sure your way is easier???? At 100KHz??? Are you suggesting to read voltage drop or current waveform at 100KHz synchronously across a series resistor and the load , then calculate Z=V/I then compare phase of excitation voltage waveform with current waveform and extract phase information? Digitally? Yes! Amplitudes can easily be measured by the help of OPamp based analog precision rectifiers and phase information can be determined by measuring the time delay between the zero crossings of current waveform and voltage waveform. But I would compare the load voltage waveform (not the excitation voltage waveform) with the shunt current waveform to determine the phase information. Excitation voltage waveform and its phase is irrelevant. Only the amplitudes of load voltage waveform and shunt current waveform, and their relative phase to each other is what counts. Kai |
