Abstract

The disclosed meter comprises a pulse shaper circuit for forming each input pulse into a voltage pulse having a predetermined pulsewidth, a level control circuit connected to the pulse shaper circuit to produce a voltage including a dc component providing a measure of the frequency of the input pulses, and a low-pass filter dc coupled to the level control circuit. The filter consists of a series resistor, a parallel capacitor and a series feedback type operational amplifier to extract the dc component from the voltage from the level control circuit.
