I run across the PSD (phase sensitive detector) concept few days ago.
To test the basics (with no particular goal in mind) I plan to drive 1:1 audio transformer with a 3 KHz - 6 V p to p signal.
I know almost nothing about how to drive it: transistor, opamp, power opamp, small audio amp. Balanced or not?.
What are the basics to calculate in / out impedances and from there how to design something to drive it safely.
Honestly, as in many cases I would like to spend little time in getting something more or less functional. I am certainly more interested in what comes next: the PSD concept.
In this case, I found that reading A LOT, didn't help. I would say it confused me more than it helped.
I have been dreaming of a LM386 working as a power oscillator, or a balanced driver with common opamps to see what I get even if a tiny signal at the output.
I need help to avoid the most obvious false starts here.
Gracias.
