What you are looking for is a 2 step process... First you would need a differential/comparitor circuit. Then use DC biasing to distinguish the positive rising slope as opposed to the negative decreasing slope.... Of course there are many ways to skin a cat.... Another way is using a one shot multi-vibrator IC and have it edge triggered either positively or negatively. That would capture only the leading or trailing edge of the signal you want to process or filter... You can also use inverters to change the direction of the sawtooth wave, if need be.... The main problem would be frequency of the sawtooth wave. The circuits that I described above will work on slower frequencies. Very fast frequencies would be a little more intricate to build.... [/quote] BANG, thank you, exactly the kind of input I was looking for. This is one of those things I can't find seeking around the Inet. THANK YOU!!! edit: Edge trigger, I like that idea. SO I would be getting a pulse type output? That may work out pretty well. Ultimately the signal will be high or low among another high and low output. The saw tooth wave indicates direction and the frequency of the saw tooth is the half wavelength of the laser. Advanced interferometry. I found a way to make an interferometer with data on which direction the target is moving w/o having to chop up the signal. [/quote]
Original Message
Is there any way to separate or filter out a sawtooth wave dependent upon which direction the saw tooth edge is?
ie, one part lead rises sharp and tapers for one signal and the other signal has a leading taper then a sharp drop in voltage.
I do not want to filter frequency, already have a passive low pass to cut high freq noise.
Just need to separate the two signals. (or omit one and then buffer, omit the other)
I am completely baffled on this one.
