Abstract
An active Wien-Robinson suppression filter connected as electrical filter in the electric transmission line from a drive-pedal potentiometer of a motor vehicle to the adjusting member of the throttle valve of the internal combustion engine; the jerking of the motor vehicle which otherwise occurs frequently, can be avoided with the use of such a filter.
Claims2
A circuit arrangement for the actuation of a throttle valve of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine having a drive pedal, whose rotary position is converted into a corresponding voltage of a potentiometer connected therewith, said voltage being transmitted by way of a control apparatus to an electrical adjusting member for the actuation of the throttle valve, characterized by further means for effectively eliminating jerking of the motor vehicle within a predetermined frequency range, wherein the further means is an active Wien-Robinson suppression filter whose resonant frequency is tuned to the oscillating frequencies to be suppressed of about 2 to 3 hertz connected between the potentiometer and the control apparatus.
