ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring knocking in internal combustion engines employs a high temperature transducer, which transducer is mounted within a cylinder. The output of the transducer is solely related to pressure. The output signal from the transducer is directed to the input of a high frequency amplifier associated with a band pass filter. In this manner the combustion signal can be filtered out and one provides a signal which is only indicative of the knocking signal and of the knocking frequencies. This signal can be analyzed simply and effectively by the use of a processor such as a multimeter or a microprocessor. In a similar manner the processor can compare the combustion and knocking signal without the band pass filtering with the knocking signal with the combustion signal filtered out.
