The problem of demodulation of a signal obtained from a special generator and a special class of transducers is considered. The swept frequency range of the generator is chosen so that the resonant frequency of the transducer ies within this range for all anticipated values of the parameter to be measured. The generator output is applied to the transducer so that an amplitude pek ocurs every time the generator frequency pses through the resonant frequency of the transducer. Demodulation is considered complete if correct relative values of the resonant frequency of the transducer are obained. Possible souces of error in the peak marking circuit are considered, and ways of minimizing different types of error are discussed. Results obtained from an experimentl peak mrking circuit are compred with theoretical reults. (Author)
