    Abstract: The difference in phase between a first and a second electrical signal at substantially the same frequency is detected in an interval of 360.degree.. Both the first and the second signals are used as input signals to a first and a second device unambiguous detection of phase differences in an interval of 180.degree., and one input signal to the first detection device is phase-shifted ninety degrees. The output signal from the first phase detection device is used in order to indicate whether the output signal from the second phase detection device corresponds to a phase difference that is greater or smaller than 180.degree.. Also, the output signal from the second phase device is used in order to produce, with the aid of the output signal from the first phase detection device, an output signal that indicates unambiguously, in an interval of 360.degree., the value of the phase difference between the first and the second input signal.

    Abstract: A phase detector determines an error value dependent on the relative phase between a local oscillator signal, used as the system clock, and an input signal received over a PR (a, b, a) channel. The phase error value is used to control a phase locked loop (FIG. 1, not shown). The received signal is sampled at regular intervals dependent on the local oscillator signal. A threshold slicer 22 selects an ideal sample value for a sampling point by comparing the sampled value to three thresholds provided on respective ones of slicer threshold inputs 23, 24 and 25. A subtracter 27 determines a difference value corresponding to a difference between the ideal sample value and the actual sample value for that sampling point. A delay register 28 and a subtracter 29 operate to determine the sense of change to the current ideal sample value from an ideal sample value for a preceding sample point. An output of the subtractor is applied to the switching input of a switch, which thereby provides as an output signal either the difference value or the inverse of the difference value, provided by an inverter 32, dependent on the detected sense of change.

    Abstract: The invention seeks to provide an improved, bandwidth-efficient method and apparatus for acquiring and tracking bursts of data, or continuous data, of varying and unpredictable amplitude, extinction ratio, and phase.The system avoids the use of digital signal processing which is not practical at high data signal rates. The system also obviates encoding of the data signal using a line code, thereby extending the existing technology to give a significant increase in data throughput for the same available bandwidth.The system may treat acquisition of each data burst, comprising alternate synchronisation parts and data parts, ab initio.

    Abstract: A two port handheld VNA enabling both reflection and transmission measurements to be made over a range of 25 MHz to 3.3 GHz frequency range. The handheld VNA includes a tracking synthesizer which generates a LO signal without a direct connection to a reference oscillator, enabling resolution of the LO signal to be independent of a generated RF test signal. synchronous detectors are further included to provide incident, reflected, and transmitted IF signals to an A/D converter. To enable operation in the presence of external signals, a feedback dither line is provided from one of the synchronous detector outputs to sweep the frequency of the reference oscillator. The handheld VNA also is configured to optionally operate as a frequency monitor to determine the frequency range and power level of incoming signals without upconverting and downconverting to eliminate images as typically done in a spectrum analyzer. The frequency monitoring circuit operates by dividing the frequency range to be monitored into bins. The LO signal is then stepped for each bin until RF signals within the bin frequency range can generate an IF signal. The maximum IF signal power level detected during measurements for the bin is then stored as a power level for signals in each bin.

    Abstract: The phase difference of two periodic input signals having essentially the same frequency are measured in, for example, a communication system, in an accurate way with a high resolution and utilizing digital components. A high resolution digital phase detector which can be included in a phase locked loop comprises an oscillator providing a clock signal having a high frequency that is not an integer multiple of the frequency of the input signals. The clock signal is provided to a clock signal input of a counter, and the periodic signals are fed to the start and stop terminals of the counter. Output terminals of the counter are directly connected to inputs of a digital low-pass filter in which an average value calculation is carried out of the integer values of the output of the counter. Because of the small frequency deviation from the integer multiple value, a slow sliding of the oscillator phase compared to the phase of the input signals is achieved, such that all possible integer values on the output of the counter are run through. A very accurate calculation of the phase position is achieved by the average value calculation of these integer values in the low-pass filter. In a complete phase-locked loop, a voltage controlled oscillator provides one of the input signals to the counter through a divider circuit.

    Abstract: A circuit for generating a signal that is proportional to the phase difference between a reference signal and a variable frequency signal. The circuit includes a reference generating circuit for generating N phase shifted reference signals from the reference signal. Each of the phase shifted reference signals has the same frequency and a different phase. The phase of the n.sup.th one of the phase shifted reference signals is equal to 360n/N degrees, where N>1 and n runs from 0 to N-1. A phase detection circuit generates a phase output signal proportional to the phase difference between the variable frequency signal and the phase shifted reference signal currently being outputted by the reference generating circuit. The phase output signal has value of I when the output signal corresponds to a phase difference of 360/N degrees. An overflow detection circuit determines when the phase output signal has an absolute value greater than I and generates a count signal and a phase adjustment signal when this situation is detected. The phase adjustment signal is coupled to the reference generating circuit and causes the reference generating circuit to select a new phase shifted reference signal. A counter is then incremented/decremented to track the accumulated phase adjustments. A digital to analog converter converts the digital value in the counter to a signal having an amplitude equal to MI, where M is the digital value. A sum circuit adds this signal to the phase output signal.

    Abstract: A circuit configuration for measuring a phase difference between a reference signal and a clock signal includes a first shift register being clocked by the clock signal and having an input receiving the reference signal. A digital differentiator is connected downstream of the first shift register and has an output. A counter has an input receiving the clock signal and an output outputting a multidigit binary word. A buffer memory is connected to the counter and to the digital differentiator for storing the binary word at the output of the counter in memory upon an appearance of a corresponding output signal of the digital differentiator. The buffer memory has an output forming most significant bits of an output binary word. A second shift register is inversely clocked by the clock signal and has an input receiving the reference signal and an output. An analog differentiator has an input connected to the output of the digital differentiator and an output. A D flip-flop has a data input connected to the output of the second shift register and a clock input connected to the output of the analog differentiator for supplying an output signal forming a least significant bit of the output binary word.
