Is electronic counter and frequency counter are same?

Probably the same. A frequency counter is specifically intended to count frequencies, but an electronic counter could be counting anything.


What instrument is used to measure electrical frequency?

Frequency counter


How to convert biary to frequency?

I'd probably just use a higher frequency source and a counter. Count the number of 555 toggles per period and you have the frequency.


Can radio frequency be measured with a meter?

Yes. The instrument is referred to as a "frequency counter". It's a common piece of telecommunications test equipment.


How do you measure 30MHz frequency at CRO?

If you must use an oscilloscope, then using Lissajous Figures will give you exact multiples of a given frequency. Naturally, you must have a known reference frequency at hand.These days a Frequency Counter will give adequate resolution.


How do you tell what my 2-way radio frequency is?

To find out the frequency you need to buy a frequency counter but they are quite deer so try searching on internet or talk to people that use radios alot and they could tell you


A mod-5 and a mod-20 counter are cascaded what is the output frequency if the input frequency is 60 mhz?

2.4MHz 60MHz/25 = 2.4MHz


How do you measure the frequency of the wave?

Since there are several kinds of waves, there are several ways to measure their frequency. Electrical waves can be measured with a frequency counter, an analog frequency meter or an oscilloscope. Ocean waves' frequency is measured with a stopwatch, but most people who measure ocean waves want to know how large they are rather than how fast they're coming.


How do you determine the frequency of a wave?

In terms of measurement, use a microphone to convert the sound into an electrical signal, then use a frequency counter to measure the frequency of the signal. The question is somewhat ambiguous, so other answers are possible. +++ Seems a clear enough question to me, but you could indeed use other methods, although a microphone and frequency counter would be the simplest if the sound is a pure tone. A complex signal would need a spectrum analyser to sort out.

Does a frequency counter help a cb radio that much?

For CB's that are both modern and "legal" a frequency counter does not help much at all. However if you have an older radio with continuous tuning (dial with a needle) or are tuning "out of band" (using an illegal modified CB) you may find a frequency counter very useful. No,All the frequency counter does is match the frequency to the radio, to tell you how accurate the radio is, if it is a quality radio it is a waste of time for a more efficent CB radio you would want a RF meter to match the antenna to the radio, this would give you max signal when you key the mike, most of the radios that I have ever used have a signal strength right on the radio. All radios are designed to reject all frequencies except the one it's tuned to. Transmitter accuracy and receiver accuracy are both important for clear reception. CB radio uses 26-27 Mhz with a channel spacing of only 10Khz. If your transmitter's frequency is 5Khz too high and the person you're trying to talk to has a receiver that is a few Khz too low, you may not be able to talk to them at all or the sound will be distorted. All radios can be aligned. Better quality radios will not necessarily hold that alignment better. Antenna matching will affect how strong the signal is but not the frequency accuracy of that signal. A frequency counter will tell you what frequency you are on. It does not help the average CB radio. But it does do a lot for modified cb's with extra channels. A Frequency counter also comes in handy if you are talking on side band, it helps you remember where to set the dial, and makes tuning someones signal in much easier. A Frequency counter will help if you need it. If you dont need it it is a waste of money. ~TeZ~


Why is ascale use to measure weight?

Because measuring weight with a ruler, speedometer, Geiger counter, voltmeter, thermometer, or frequency counter is prohibitively difficult, and has been all but rejected by the technological community.
