  • Patent number: 4165653
    Abstract: A pressure measuring system which includes a variable reluctance pressure transducer energized from an alternating voltage source, wherein the ratio of the output voltage to the source voltage is proportional to the pressure being sensed. Precision full wave rectifiers convert the source and output voltages to reference and sensing direct voltage signals, respectively. A switching regulator regulates the higher amplitude reference voltage signal to have exactly the same average voltage as the sensing voltage signal. The switching regulator also regulates a constant voltage DC signal from a regulated power supply at the same switching duty cycle as the regulated reference voltage signal, to produce a direct voltage, pressure-sensing signal which is uneffected by voltage fluctuations in the alternating voltage source for the pressure transducer.
