Abstract
An electric measurement circuit possesses an electrical reaction leg for forming an oscillator from a resonator, and furthermore possesses a measurement leg the input of which is supplied by the electrical reaction leg. The measurement leg contains an adjustable phase shifter so that an additional excitation force that is applied to the resonator in the measurement leg can be adjusted in phase quadrature with respect to an excitation force that is applied to the resonator in the electrical reaction leg. Such an electrical measurement circuit is particularly suitable for forming a photoacoustic gas detector.
