The classical way uses a tracking ratio synthesizer based on phased locked loop oscillator which generates a constant number of sampling pulses during one shaft revolution. This synthesizer also controls variable cut off frequency of analog anti-aliasing filters. they are adapted to the variable sampling frequency that is itself depending on the frequency bandwidth.

Line 28: Line 29:
The tach signal is sampled and processed in order to compute sampling rate of tach revolution pulses. The arrival time of a tach pulse is computed using interpolation between 2 samples. This tach processing also computes instantaneous speed in order to adjust the cut off frequency of the low pass digital filter used in resampling.

So in case of a large speed variation in a revolution, the analyzer can always deliver valuable spectrums. During implementation the operator can adjust the speed variation threshold over which measurements are automatically rejected.

'''Signal resampling'''
====Signal resampling====


The digital resampling of analyzed signals needs a complementary antialiasing filter whose cut off is continuously adjusted to a frequency equal to the product of the maximum analyzed order by instantaneous shaft speed.

Line 83: Line 65:
Compared to other methods, the OROS one has the main advantage to be able to work with the full available frequency range of the original sampled signal, so the OROS order tracking analyzer is able to work with signals up to 40 kHz with initial sampling at 102.4 kHz.
