Abstract

1394551 Digital measurement of frequency BENDIX CORP 30 April 1973 20465/73 Heading G4H A circuit for measuring the frequency f x of a signal comprises a zero crossing detector 10, the period of the output of which varies with the frequency f x , gates 14, 18 for receiving a reference frequency signal, a flip-flop 12 for enabling the gates to transmit the reference frequency signal for the period of the detector 10 to counters 22, 24 and control gates 16, 20 for transferring the counts stored in the counters to a digital to analogue converter 26. The circuit may be part of a sonar system in which the signal of frequeney f x is the signal reflected from a moving object. The output pulses from the flip-flop 12 alternately open the pairs of gates 14, 16 and 18, 20 to supply the digital measurement of the frequency stored in the counters 22, 24 to the converter 26. The output of the converter may be supplied to a meter, Fig. 4 (not shown), via a low pass filter and to a comparator, the reference input of which receives a signal corresponding to a minimum Doppler frequency. Signals of a frequency exceeding this reference frequency are supplied to the video gate of a cathode-ray tube circuit. Modifications of the circuit are described to prevent signals corresponding to frequencies outside a predetermined range from being supplied to the converter 26, thereby eliminating frequency measurements corresponding to noise signals.
