The sensor yields an electrical signal containing a fundamental frequency proportional to the fluidic variations as well as frequency components or noise arising from turbulence in the fluid admitted into the flowmeter. The recovery system includes a voltage-controlled band-pass filter coupled to the sensor to transmit only those frequencies which lie within a narrow range whose center frequency is determined by the applied control voltage and to discriminate against all other frequencies. In order to recover the fundamental frequency from the sensor output and to reject frequencies reflecting hydraulic noise, a control voltage is generated whose level is a function of the existing velocity of the fluid passing through the meter, the control voltage being applied to the filter to adjust the band-pass setting thereof so that the center frequency substantially corresponds to the fundamental frequency in the sensor output. The output of the filter is applied to a Schmitt trigger to provide a square wave whose frequency corresponds to the fundamental frequency, the output of the trigger being indicated to afford a reading of flow rate.，下面是Signal recovery system for vortex type flowmeter专利的具体信息内容。
