Abstract

The apparatus comprises a sampling hold circuit for sampling the amplitude of a sinusoidal wave at a predetermined frequency, a data sample extracting circuit for extracting two data samples at two points immediately before and after the peak value of the sinusoidal wave, and an operation circuit responsive to the absolute values of the two data samples for calculating the amplitude value of the sinusoidal wave.
