The circuit includes two differential amplifiers. The top differential amplifier, whose output is referenced to ground potential, has unitary gain. The bottom differential amplifier, whose output is referenced to ground potential, has ideally infinite gain. Ordinary operational amplifiers can be adopted with limitations in accuracy and bandwidth.The Fontana bridge is also called Compensated Current Injection Circuit.It was originally discovered by Giorgio Fontana, University of Trento, Italy, in 2003 using a symbolic equation solver for Kirchhoff's circuit laws. The bridge details are available in.[1] [2] [3]
