  • Patent number: 7325455
    Abstract: An integral connectorless hermetically sealed high-temperature piezoelectric sensor housing and cable assembly includes signal conditioning/processing circuitry having a charge amplifier-differential amplifier combination with integral trim capacitor and/or a voltage divider network in at least one signal processing path to provide the ability to custom adjust input impedances and balance common-mode signals to compensate for inequalities caused by inherent parasitic capacitances and specific structural constraints of the sensor assembly.
