A torque sensor has been mounted on a farm tractor engine. The voltage produced by the torque sensor is to be sampled by an ADC. The rotational speed of the crankshaft is 800 r/min. Because of speed fluctuations caused by the reciprocating action of the engine, frequency content is present in the torque signal at twice the shaft rotation frequency. What is the minimum sampling period that can be used to ensure that the Nyquist criterion is satisfied?
Find:
The minimum sampling period according to Nyquist criterion.
Analysis:
Shaft rotation frequency is 800 rpm or 13.33 rev/sec; therefore, the fluctuation frequency is 26.67 Hz:
