  • Measuring TX Voltage

    Hi,

    I need to tap the TX signal as a reference using an A/D converter, the TX circuit is a basic series RLC configuration.
    The A/D converter operates at 3V3 (input resistance of 10kOhm, 10pF). Therefore I need to attenuate the TX signal, at resonance it could go up to 50Vpp.

    The simplest solution I can think of is a simple resistive voltage divider and a buffer op-amp as voltage follower. Do you think there is a better solution? Maybe using
    a capacitive voltage divider?

    another idea: using the current limiting resistor (R1) as shunt resistor and measure the voltage across it using a difference amplifier with unity gain.

    I want to use this reference signal to find the resonance frequency and measure changes in inductance. Maybe I can also use the reference signal for I/Q demodulation
