Hi,
I'm using the AD5933 to monitor the impedances of various systems and the majority of the time it works fine, but every 50-100 samples I get a spurious reading that throws everything off. I simplified the setup so that I continually take measurements at the same frequency using the repeat frequency command with a .01% precision resistor of 50 Ohms and the same thing happens. I've inserted an image below of the real component of the DFT, the imaginary component does a similar thing but its usually not at the same sample as the real value. The image below shows the real component jumping from ~10 to ~1000. I've seen the value jump to a much larger value and it is enough to throw off the average of hundreds of samples.
Is there something in the setup that could be causing this or is there a way to deal with it? I don't want to just throw out points because in practice I won't know exactly what the impedance is and it will change over time.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
Regards,
Justin
