The sinusoidal excitation current source generates a sinusoidal waveform current which is injected into the monitored region of the pipeline. The resistors between the electrode pairs of the monitored area form a resistor network to convert the current signal into a voltage signal. Since the voltage signal is weak, usually in the nV level, it needs to be pre-amplified by the preprocessing circuit to a level (above 0.1V) enough to drive the phase-locked amplifier circuit. The amplified signal enters a phase-locked amplifying circuit and is operated with a reference signal. The output of the phase-locked amplifying circuit is a direct current signal. The phase of the signal to be measured is adjusted to be the same as that of the reference signal, and the amplitude of the direct current signal output by the phase-locked amplifying circuit is only related to the amplitude of the signal to be measured. Phase-locked amplification can therefore remove interference at all different frequencies, including dc components and ambient electromagnetic interference.
