I did liso simulation of the circuit in the seis box. I think that AD620 (first amplifier in the circuit) noise might be much less with the signal from guralps from 0.01 Hz. Here is the TF of AD620 output / circuit input.

The noise spectrum is at this node is

The psd of the seismic noise below 1 Hz ~ 1u m/s => circuit input signal is ~1mv.
The TF of the whole circuit is

This result differs from the graph on the circuit sheet, but may be it was done before the resistor parameteres changed. Back of the envelop calculations also show that it is not possible to acheive DC gain 200 while 50-800 Hz gain = 5000. I'll check with the spectrum analyzer.
AD620 might be a weak point in the simulation since this is not a "classical" operational amplifier, it contains a resistor that adjusts the gain. During the liso simulation I assumed that we have an ordinary opamp (with noise, gain and gbw parameters taken from the real ad620 datasheet) with a resistor parallel to the opamp = 50k and a resistor before the inverted input that corrsponds to R2. In this case the gain of the simulated opamp is the same as of the real one given by the formula 1 + 49.9k / R2, though noise parameters may change. This should be also checked with the spectrum analyzer. |
