In the exploration of ocean resources, the submarine electric field signal plays a crucial role through marine electromagnetic methods. However, due to the field signal’s low-frequency and weak characteristics, it often encounters interference from the instrument’s own 1/f noise during its acquisition. To address this issue, we developed a low-noise amplifier for the submarine electric field signal based on chopping amplification technology. This amplifier utilizes low-temperature electronic components to adapt to the cold submarine environment and enhances its independence by incorporating a square wave generator. Additionally, we conducted simulations and experimental tests on the designed chopper amplifier circuit, evaluating the equivalent input voltage noise spectrum (EIVNS) and the frequency response within 1 mHz~100 Hz. The experimental results indicate that the amplifier designed in this study achieves sufficiently low noise 2 nV/Hz@1 mHz, effectively amplifying the submarine electric field signal measured with the electric field sensor.

Abstract
We present in this paper a fully integrated low-noise high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) logarithmic programmable gain amplifier (LPGA) and chopped LPGA circuits for EEG acquisition systems. The proposed LPGA is based on a rail-to-rail true logarithmic amplifier (TLA) stage. The high CMRR [...] Read more.
We present in this paper a fully integrated low-noise high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) logarithmic programmable gain amplifier (LPGA) and chopped LPGA circuits for EEG acquisition systems. The proposed LPGA is based on a rail-to-rail true logarithmic amplifier (TLA) stage. The high CMRR achieved in this work is a result of cascading three amplification stages to construct the LPGA in addition to the lower common-mode gain of the proposed logarithmic amplification topology. In addition, the 1 / f noise and the inherent DC offset voltage of the input transistors are reduced using a chopper stabilization technique. The CMOS 180 nm standard technology is used to implement the circuits. Experimental results for the integrated LPGA show a CMRR of 140 dB, a differential gain of 37 dB, an input-referred noise of 0.754 μ Vrms, a 189 μ W power consumption from 1.8 V power supply and occupies an active area of 0.4 mm 2 .
