Abstract
A fuel flow rate transducer design for a manned transport spacecraft is proposed. It is based on the principle of measuring the phase of the useful signal carrier frequency. This scheme significantly improves the stability of the instrument against mechanical interactions and provides more accurate measurements of the amount of fuel consumed by the spacecraft.
