Automotive FDS resolution improvement by using the principle of rational approximation

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel method of frequency counting of signals coming from automotive sensors is presented. The present method helps to improve fast resolution of output parameters of typical automotive frequency-domain sensors (FDS). Controlling the electromechanical systems in today's cars is a task that requires a high processing speed. The method proposed here has been tested under computer experiments, and theoretical results have shown that it meets the requirements of speed of response and offset error of the parameters under measurement. Here, both a principle of rational approximation and its application to fast registration of frequency changes in the signal that is proportional to the physical parameter under measurement are shown. Finally, some experimental results are shown as well. © 2012 IEEE.
