Familiarization to the Lock-In Technique
In the first three sections of this experiment a lock-in amplifier is utilized to take the measurements.Therefore the primary objective of this section is to familiarize ourselves ith the techniques of thelock-in amplifier method.
Theory
! lock-in amplifier "also kno n as a phase-sensitive detector# is a type of amplifier that can extracta si$nal ith a kno n carrier ave from an extremely noisy environment. %asically it can lock outand separate out a sin$le si$nal ith a specific frequency. In our case the si$nal in question is a square
ave hich is a collection of sine aves at multiple frequencies and related amplitudes and phases. !&' pk-pk square ave is expressed as
(" t # ) *.&+,sin" ωt # ./&// sin", ωt # .&0/1 sin"0 ωt # .*2*3 sin"+ ωt # 4 "!#
The Lock-in amplifier ill lock in the first harmonic of the composite square ave. Therefore thesi$nal measured ill be the first part of the expression "!# and not &' pk-pk.

The theoretical and experimental values are approximately matchin$. !nd since a square ave doesnot contain any odd numbered harmonics the zero values obtained for those are theoretically correct.
!s for the use of coaxial cablesB since e are measurin$ small ac si$nals that are part of a compositesi$nal it is important for noise and distortion effects to be isolated. (ince a coaxial cable reduceselectroma$netic interference drastically the reason for usin$ it in this experiment is self-evident.
