  • Patent number: 7036378
    Abstract: A sensor circuit, method, and system for conversion of a high-impedance, broad frequency range signal from a transducer into two low-impedance signals, one containing high-frequency components and another containing low-frequency components of the input signal. The transducer can be a piezoelectric (PE) transducer transforming motion or vibration into a high-impedance electrical signal with a broad frequency range. A low-frequency circuit output can contain the frequencies in the linear region of the transducer's frequency band. The high-frequency output can contain the natural resonance frequency of the transducer. The circuit includes a low-frequency filter amplifier module and a high-frequency filter amplifier module, both amplifier modules having negative feedback, high input impedance, and low output impedance; the outputs may include a DC bias. The circuit may also include a source follower isolating the filter amplifier modules from each other.
