The great thing about building with gates is the crazy speeds you can achieve by using hardware directly (as opposed to working with simple microcontrollers). This 100 MHz frequency counter is a great ...
An accurate way to calibrate a frequency source is to use a high-resolution counter/timer to measure the beat frequency, or phase difference, between the source to be calibrated and a reference such ...
The prescaler described here connects to the front end of a 100-MHz frequency counter to extend its coverage range to 10 GHz. The circuit is a far less expensive way to measure frequencies above 100 ...
