专利汇可以提供Capacitance variometer专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且An electronic variometer or rate of climb indicator of the diaphragm capacitance type, having improved sensitivity and response time. Pressure is sensed by differential pressure transducer having dual capacitor elements and a diaphragm which deflects in response to changes in pressure. A leak tube extends from a back chamber within the pressure transducer into an atmospheric chamber. The problem of non-linearity is overcome by the use of the dual capacitor elements which are connected in circuit to adjust the frequency of oscillation of a square-wave oscillator. The two channel output of the oscillator is passed through filter networks to eliminate the oscillation frequency and is then sent to a differential amplifier and displayed on a meter.,下面是Capacitance variometer专利的具体信息内容。
