Abstract

See full text

A pyroelectric sensor circuit arrangement for reducing noise and increasing sensitivity has a main current amplifier with a high feedback resistor connected to receive input from an electrode of a pyroelectric element, and includes a compensation amplifier in a unity gain amplifier configuration connected to a common power source with the main amplifier. The compensation amplifier is connected to discharge transients from the pyroelectric element when electrode voltage exceeds the positive voltage or goes below the negative voltage of the power source. A pair of anti-parallel diode or similar component is connected between the main amplifier input and the compensation amplifier output.
