#105584 - What you need
Responding to: ???'s previous message
...first of all is a synchronous rectifier, driven from your known reference clock.

The output is then essentially "DC" extracted from your frequency of interest - you wouldn't need your filter bank then.

Failing that, then again, get a nice clean sqaure wave from your drive signal, and apply that to a switched capacitor filter as the reference clock. The filter would then automatically track your input frequency.

Personally, I'd look at the synchronous rectifier /Phase sensitive detector/phase sensitive rectifier, they're pretty simple in terms of components - we use an analogue switch (DG403) and a programmable gain amplifier (INA 105) We can get at least 14 bit precision through that in our systems, where we are driving an LVDT.
