Abstract

See full text

A tracking band-pass filter useful for locking onto, and passing, an input signal which changes rapidly in frequency. The filter has a frequency pass band controlled by a rectangular voltage waveform which is derived from the output signal passed by the filter. The filter output signal is translated from a sine wave to a pulse wave. The period between each two successive pulses is measured by counting the cycles of an oscillator during each respective period. The time-representing count is inverted to a frequency-representing count which controls the duty cycle of a rectangular wave used to make the filter track the changing frequency of the input signal.
