Abstract
A humidity meter includes a humidity-frequency converter which is essentially a pulse oscillator, the frequency of which depends upon the impedance of a humidity sensor, a pulse width modulator for adjusting pulse width of an output pulse of the converter for assuring a linear relationship between humidity and the output signal, and an integrator for integrating the output of the pulse width modulator to provide an output signal as a DC level. A feedback path is provided to apply the output signal to the pulse width modulator for assuring a linear output irrespective of the exponential characteristics of the humidity sensor.
