Abstract

A power metering system including a first modulator receiving a first analog voltage associated with a current and outputting a first digitized signal. A second modulator receives a second analog voltage and outputs a second digitized signal. A first lowpass filter filters out high frequency noise associated with the first signal and decimates the frequency of the first digitized signal. The first lowpass filter outputs a first filtered signal. An interpolator performs up sampling of the signal associated with the first filtered signal. The interpolator outputs a first up sampled signal. An integrator integrates the first up sampled signal. The integrator outputs an integrated signal. A first multiplier multiplies the second digitized signal and integrated signal, and outputs a multiplied signal. The multiplied signal being used to measure power.
