Abstract
A method includes receiving a count corresponding to a number of peaks of a resonant signal that exceed a reference signal and comparing the count to a floating count window defined by a first count threshold and a second count threshold, the first count threshold is larger than the second count threshold. The method further includes selectively shifting the floating count window in a direction of the count when the count falls outside of the floating count window.
