hello
this code will plot the period (and from there the frequency) between two consecutive "zero crssing" points
see second figure plot, where the signal follows a log sweeping freq from 50 to 22 k Hz as specified (congrats ! )
of course there is a bit of "oscillations" at the very end of the line because a 20 + kHz tone sampled at only 48 kHz does not give a superb time resolution
code is here :
clc
clearvars
Fs = 48000; %Sampling rate
x = 0:1/Fs:2; %2 seconds
fo = 50; %Starting frequency 50Hz
f1 = 22000; %Ending frequenyc 22kHz
y = chirp(x,fo,2,f1,'logarithmic');
threshold = 0; % your value here
[t0_pos,s0_pos,t0_neg,s0_neg]= crossing_V7(y,x,threshold,'linear'); % positive (pos) and negative (neg) slope crossing points
% ind => time index (samples)
% t0 => corresponding time (x) values
% s0 => corresponding function (y) values , obviously they must be equal to "threshold"
figure(1)
plot(x,y,t0_pos,s0_pos,'+r',t0_neg,s0_neg,'+g','linewidth',2,'markersize',12);grid on
legend('signal','positive slope crossing points','negative slope crossing points');
xlabel('Time (s)');
% let's compute the period between crossing points , then frequency
period_pos = diff(t0_pos); % seconds
freq_pos = 1./period_pos; % Hz

semilogy(t0_pos(2:end),freq_pos,'r','linewidth',2,'markersize',12);grid on
xlabel('Time (s)');
ylabel('Frequency (Hz)');
function [t0_pos,s0_pos,t0_neg,s0_neg] = crossing_V7(S,t,level,imeth)
% [ind,t0,s0,t0close,s0close] = crossing_V6(S,t,level,imeth,slope_sign) % older format
% CROSSING find the crossings of a given level of a signal
% ind = CROSSING(S) returns an index vector ind, the signal
% S crosses zero at ind or at between ind and ind+1
% [ind,t0] = CROSSING(S,t) additionally returns a time
% vector t0 of the zero crossings of the signal S. The crossing
% times are linearly interpolated between the given times t
% [ind,t0] = CROSSING(S,t,level) returns the crossings of the
% given level instead of the zero crossings
% ind = CROSSING(S,[],level) as above but without time interpolation
% [ind,t0] = CROSSING(S,t,level,par) allows additional parameters
% par = {'none'|'linear'}.
% With interpolation turned off (par = 'none') this function always
% returns the value left of the zero (the data point thats nearest
% to the zero AND smaller than the zero crossing).
%
% [ind,t0,s0] = ... also returns the data vector corresponding to
% the t0 values.
%
% [ind,t0,s0,t0close,s0close] additionally returns the data points
% closest to a zero crossing in the arrays t0close and s0close.

% This version has been revised incorporating the good and valuable
