Simulation of an Adaptive Method of Improving the Accuracy and Extending the Range of Frequency Signal Processing in a Frequency-to-Code Converter

Abstract

The article discusses the modification of one of the basic methods of converting successive periods of a variable frequency signal into numerical values representing them. The method performs the adaptive frequency selection of the clock signal in the system processing the consecutive periods of input signal. The signal processing error is analyzed on an ongoing basis, and the frequency change factor is selected. Algorithms describing the operation of the method are included. The program of the simulator of the measurement channel operation with a frequency carrier of information is described, which allows for the verification of the proposed method. Examples of the simulation results are included.
