Ultra low noise characteristics are required for the
preamplifier employed in MEG. In addition, MEG is usually
composed of multi-channel configuration. A differential
amplifier is used for signal crosstalk countermeasure and would
degrade noise characteristics. We designed our preamplifier in
MEG to meet these requirements.

A drive circuit that detects and controls micro signal from
SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) with high
resolution of fT(10-15) by 16 channel independent
ultra low noise amplifier.
A high precision analog signal processing circuit which extracts
information for signal analysis
A circuit that cancels the magnetic field
from the external environment which generates noise. The circuit
realizes highly accurate measurement.
A drive circuit with advanced measures to
EMI, A structure with high electromagnetic shielding, a
dedicated analog power supply for EMI countermeasures.
Ultra low noise characteristics are required for a preamplifier
employed in MRI. In addition, the preamplifier should use parts that
do not contain a magnetic material so that it properly operates in a
strong magnetic field, and resume normal operation right after
saturated with a large signal.
Our preamp satisfies these requirements.
