Patent number: 9696355Abstract: A system and method to detect the fundamental frequency of an electric input signal using a feedback control loop including a phase error detector, a loop controller, and a digitally controlled oscillator. The frequency detector may detect the fundamental frequency of an electric input signal and produce an output signal representing the fundamental frequency of the electric input signal. The frequency detector may further include a filter that may be coupled to the frequency detector output signal in order to remove spurious tones or noise from the output signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventor: Gabriel Antonesei

Publication number: 20150015239Abstract: In one embodiment, a measuring device may comprise two oscillators. The first oscillator may generate a local reference signal in a frequency detector to detect a fundamental frequency of the AC. The second oscillator may generate two substantially mutually orthogonal sinusoid signals having the selected frequency. The measuring device further may comprise a first group of multipliers that mixes the two sinusoid signals with a current and a voltage data signal of the AC respectively, a group of low-pass filters for removing high frequency components from the multiplication products, a second group of multipliers for mixing the filtered multiplication produces respectively, and a plurality of adders each to sum together a pair of multiplication products of the second group of multipliers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2014Publication date: January 15, 2015Applicant: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventor: Gabriel ANTONESEI

Patent number: 7236110Abstract: A sample rate converter reduces the sampling rate of a signal by a fractional number U/D, where U represents an up-sampling rate and D represents a down-sampling rate. The converter comprises an input for receiving an input data stream at a first rate and an FIR filtering stage. The FIR filtering stage comprises a set of D polyphase filter branches, each branch including a set of filter coefficients which operate on a sample of the input signal. The converter also comprises a commutative switch which selectively connects a sample of the input data stream to one of the polyphase filter branches, the switch being arranged to skip every U?1 filter branches during a cycle through the filter branches. An output outputs an output data stream at a second data rate which is lower than the first data rate.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Analog Devices, Inc.Inventor: Gabriel Antonesei
