Abstract

An inductive loop has its frequency of oscillation controlled by means of a counter, a reference frequency source, a comparator, and an attenuator. The frequency of the loop is compared by the comparator to the frequency of the reference source to produce an error signal which controls the attenuator. The amplitude of the output signal of the attenuator is used to adjust the loop frequency to a desired value.
