Abstract

Frequency measurements by means of zero-crossing-counting device can be disturbed by noise in many different ways, such as fluctuating zero level or extra zero crossings. This paper presents a mathematical theory for analysis of the effect of noise on a zero-crossing counter. Comparisons are made with experiments made on the production of clicks in a zero-crossing-detecting FM receiver.
