time frequency - How to compute number of samples in 1 cycle of signal?


I have 3 signal sampled at 12 KHz frequency obtained from a motor rotating at constant 2000, 2020, and 2040 rpm. For 1 second signal recording I have 12,000 time samples. Depending on the frequency I can say (1/f) is the time period of oscillation.



But I am confused how to segment the signal with one time cycle from the whole signal, so that I can choose those many samples out of 12000 samples.


Is there any mathematical way to compute length of 1 cycle of signal when its sampling frequency and rpm are given, without observing the peak to peak in oscilloscope?



Answer



Although it is hardly related to DSP but here is a quick calculation:


R Rotations per minute is R60 Rotations per second which gives 12K samples per second. Hence, One rotation is proportional to 1R60×12000=720,000R samples. For instance, for 2000 RPM there are 360 samples per rotation.
