The invention discloses a high precision frequency measurement method and instrument at the under-sampling rate. The method includes the steps that spectrum correction is conducted through a triple-spectrum-line interpolation method, L pairs of frequency estimated values obtained after spectrum correction is obtained, and L pairs of phase information obtained after peak position correction is obtained; with the combination of the
zero crossing point type and the L pairs of phase information obtained after correction, L frequency
estimation values are picked out from the L pairs of frequency
estimation values; all spectrum correction values and the L frequency
estimation values are adopted as the remainder, and the frequency of an original high-frequency
signal is reconstituted according to the
Chinese remainder theorem in the closed analytical form. According to the measurement instrument, a single to be tested is subjected to the
zero crossing point measurement
processing firstly, and the original phase of the
signal to be tested is determined; then sample sequences are obtained after analog /
digital converter sampling with multi-path sampling frequency is conducted, the sample sequences enter a DSP device in the form of parallel
digital input respectively, and frequency estimation of a high-frequency
signal is obtained after internal
processing is conducted through the DSP device; finally the frequency value is displayed with the help of an output driver and a display circuit of the output driver.
