  • Patent number: 4041387
    Abstract: A swept frequency measuring system is provided with an electronic counter for measuring the frequency of the sweeping signal from a sweeping signal generator, at a predetermined point in the sweep indicated by a marker. Upon the occurrence of a marker, the counter starts counting the frequency of the signal while the sweeping signal generator continues to sweep. After a predetermined interval, the counter stops counting for a second predetermined interval and, then, during a third predetermined interval counts down from the count made during the first interval. The resultant count remaining in the counter is an indication of the frequency of the sweeping signal at the marker, and this count is displayed in a digital display.
