Thanks for the help everybody. The reduction of the sine wave is not a problem anymore. I now have signals between +/-4 instead. My goal now is to:
Take the signal and clip above +/-1V with (zener) diodes, add a DC component of 1.65V and amplify the remaining signal to fit in the window 0-3.3V. The idea is that I'm interested in the segment +/-1V of the +/-4V signal, which I want to sample in my analyzer that only takes 0-3.3V.
I have attached my Pspice model of my preliminary circuit, what do you think? As you might have guessed, this is not my area of expertise so please tell me if I'm missing something in this circuit or if you have better ideas.
Also, when I simulate this circuit I get distortions. I believe this has to do with the high frequency of my signal and the lack of proper components in my student version of Orcad.
Thanks again for you help guys!
