Many research environments exploit "lock-in" detection techniques to reduce noise (and data size) by removing unwanted spectral components from a signal of interest. We wish to use lock-in detection to interferometrically characterize the GHz-frequency mechanical modes of our micromechanical sensors, but there currently does not exist a commercially available lock-in detector for this range of frequencies. The state-of-the-art digital lock-in (Zurich Instruments UHFLI), which can measure signals at frequencies up to 600 MHz, costs more than $40,000 CAD (higher with options).

许多研究环境利用“锁定”检测技术，通过从感兴趣的信号中去除不需要的频谱成分来减少噪声（和数据大小）。我们希望使用锁定检测来干涉表征我们的微机械传感器的ghz频率机械模式，但目前还没有商用锁定探测器用于该频率范围。最先进的数字锁定（苏黎世仪器UHFLI），可以测量频率高达600兆赫的信号，价格超过40,000加元（选项更高）。
