Abstract

A method of measuring frequency samples a waveform, calculates waveform voltages based on an initial time base and adjust the time base for a particular waveform to determine the actual frequency of the measured AC power. A microprocessor can be used to implement the method so a small quantity of electronic elements is required, and the manufacturing cost is low.
