    Notice the 200R (100R) trimmer, it may help balancing the signal. I would try diff. op amps, different switches.
    Try different delay for EF sample.

    General tech discussions on all types of metal detectors: VLF, 2-box, BFO, off-resonance, PLL, etc. Questions, ideas, and anything else that moves you.

    Might be the reason I've been using the #2 integrator. He didn't get to (more on that latter). Reply #1 is the same as your image.


    Was trying to calculate gain and frequency response for the track and hold integrator. Not sure the calculations are correct. I've been trying to add GEB and I think changing sample time doesn't change gain so I think track-hold integrator is not a good choice.

    Some of the PI's use integrator #1. Matching caps and resistors wasn't a problem. I still don't see why it doesn't cancel the magnet better.

    Which integrator

    Including schematic for #1 and #2 integrators. Have been using #2 integrator. Looked good except for some output offset. Think switch charge injection was causing some of it. Tried #1 integrator. Matched caps and resistors. everything looked good until I wiped a magnet across the coil. For some reason I can't get integrator #1 to cancel the magnet even close to integrator#2. Is there something about the two integrators that would cause integrator #2 to cancel the magnet better or is there something I'm missing?
