Original Abstract

The paper presents a linear voltage controlled current source (VCCS) with +-5 A output current range, which will be used to excite applicator coils in experimental magnetic therapy. The VCCS was realized using a known topology with operational amplifiers and employs a slightly modified professional audio amplifier as output power buffer. The aim was to reduce the engineering effort needed to construct the source. The VCCS was supplemented with a simple signal generator with direct digital synthesis. These components form a compact instrument, which has been given the designation ZS1. Since the experiments are usually performed by researchers without background in electronics, the instrument is equipped with easy-to-use user interface.
