The system modules are all realized in Altera’s FPGA chip EP2C35F672C8. Experimental results show that the system can measure fre- quencies with equal precision in the whole frequency range, and the measurement error is small. It achieves the re- quirement of equal precision measurements. Keywords: FPGA; Equal Precision; Frequency Measurement 1. Introduction 2. Principle of Equal Precision Frequency Measurement Frequency measurement is one of the most basic and important method in electronic measurements. Frequency The equal precision frequency measurement is also signals are strong anti-interference, easy to transmit, and known as multi-cycle synchronous frequency measure- can be measured with higher precision. Therefore, the ment method.
