Abstract

An engine knocking detecting system is disclosed, which comprises an engine vibration sensing device which produces a signal which represents a vibration of an engine; an engine speed sensing device which produces a signal which represents the speed of the engine; parallelly arranged band-pass filters to which the vibration representative signal from the engine vibration sensing device is fed simultaneously, the band-pass filters having respective pass-bands which are not overlapped; and a knocking judging device for judging whether the engine is under knocking or not by analyzing the output signals issued from the band-pass filters and the engine speed representative signal from the engine speed sensing device.
