ABSTRACT:
Samples from a first and second cycle of a system signal are used to generate discrete Fourier transforms for the respective first and second cycle. Multiplication of the discrete Fourier transform of the second cycle by the complex conjugate of the discrete Fourier transform of the first cycle produces a frequency deviation phasor whose angle with respect to the real axis is representative of the frequency deviation of the system signal from a predetermined reference frequency. Actual system frequency may be determined by obtaining the inverse tangent of the angle of the frequency deviation phasor with respect to the real axis.
Apparatus for determining the frequency and frequency deviation of a system signal is disclosed as is a method and apparatus for determining frequency and frequency deviation of a system signal comprising a plurality of phases.
