What is a Frequency Counter

• The test instruments which are associated with a wide range of radio frequencies that
the frequency and time of digital signals are called frequency counters. These are capable of
measuring the frequency and time of repeated digital signals accurately.

• These are also known as frequency meters, used to measure the frequency and time of square wave and
input pulses. These are used various applications with RF range. These counters use Prescaler to reduce
the frequency and operates the digital circuit. The frequency of the digital or analog signals is displayed

on its display in HZ.


• When the no.of pulses or events occurred in a specific period of time, the counter counts the pulses and
transfers it to the frequency counter to display the frequency range of pulses and counter is set to zero. It is
very easy to use and measure the frequency, and displays in digital form. These are available at affordable
rates with more accuracy.
• The frequency counter block diagram contains input signal, input conditioning, and threshold,
AND gate, counter or latch, accurate time base or clock, decade dividers, flip-flop, and display.
Input

• When the input signal with high input impedance and low output impedance is applied to this
counter, then it will be fed to the amplifier to convert the signal into a square wave or rectangular
wave for processing within the digital circuit.
• The input signal is buffered and amplified by using the input conditions and thresholds. In this
stage, Schmitt trigger is used to control the counting additional pulses occurred due to noise at the
edges.
• To reduce the counting additional pulses, the trigger level and sensitivity of the counter can be
controlled
Clock (Accurate Time-base)

• Clock or accurate time-base is necessary to produce various timing signals at precise time
intervals. It uses a crystal oscillator with high quality for controlled and accurate timing signals.
The clock is applied to decade dividers.

• Decade Dividers and Flip-Flop


• Pulses generated from the incoming signal and clock signal are fed to the decade dividers to divide
the clock signal and the output is given to the flip-flop to produce enabling pulse for the main
AND gate.
• Gate
• The accurate enabling pulse from the flip-flop and the train of pulses from the input signal is applied to the
gate ( AND gate ) to produce a series of pulses at a precise time interval. If the input signal/incoming signal is
at 1 MHZ and for the 1-second gate should be opened, then 1 million pulses are produced as a resultant
output signal.
Counter or Latch

• The output of the gate is fed to the counter to count the no.of pulses that occurred from the input signal. The
latch is used to hold the output signal while displaying the figures, meanwhile, the counter counts the pulses.
It will have 10 stages to count and hold the pulses.

• Display
• The output of the counter and the latch are given to the display to provide the output in a readable format.
The frequency of the output signal is displayed. The most commonly used displays are LCD or LED. Since
there will be one digit for each decade counter and the related information is displayed on the display .
