Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for using a common frequency generator for measuring selected properties of a fluid of interest via one or more heater and/or sensor elements. The common frequency generator may sequentially and/or simultaneously provide input signals to selected heater and/or sensor elements. Application of more than one frequency component by the common frequency generator enables the determination of one or more time and/or phase lags more efficiently, especially when using an FFT analysis technique. From the time and/or phase lags, the selected fluid properties including fluid flow speed can be determined.
