Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring color of a moving web. The web is measured by reflectance measurement and transmittance measurement, wherein the reflectance measurement is carried out by illuminating a surface of the web in a measuring area, where on the other side of the web at the measuring area resides a solidly attached backing element and measuring the radiation reflected from the web. The transmittance measurement is carried out by illuminating the web and measuring the radiation transmitted through the web. The radiation measured in the transmittance measurement is transmitted through the backing element.

Abstract: When starting a radio transmitter, a transmission frequency is generated by a phase/frequency-locked loop which includes a phase/frequency comparator, a loop filter and a voltage-controlled oscillator. The start-up is performed by switching on an operating voltage to the voltage-controlled oscillator. To minimize the frequency error of the transmitter at start-up, measuring data about relationship between the control voltage of the oscillator and the output frequency of the oscillator at a specified calibration temperature are pre-stored in connection with the oscillator, and immediately before switching on the operating voltage, the control voltage needed for locking onto the selected output frequency at the prevailing temperature is estimated and the estimated control voltage is set as the control voltage of the oscillator.
