METHOD FOR FAST AND ACCURATE FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT

Abstract:
A fast and accurate alternative frequency measurement method based on the coincidence of pulses between two regular independent pulse trains and rational approximations of the number theory is presented. Based on the model of measurement process, it is shown that measurement result is a rational approximation to the true value and its approximation has a higher accuracy than approximations by systematic fractions. Results obtained from simulation of the measurement model are presented. This method can be implemented using low cost hardware.
