    Abstract: Methods and circuitry are disclosed to produce a first signal representative of the AC voltage signal and a second signal representative of an AC current signal. The first and second signals may be combined with a clock signal to produce a third signal. A phase angle between the AC voltage signal and the AC current signal may be determined based on a pulse count indicative of how many pulses occur in the third signal over a predetermined period of time.

    Abstract: A phase difference detector for detecting a phase difference between input clocks which both have a same first frequency, including: a pulse width conversion unit for converting the input clocks into a phase difference signal indicating by a pulse width a phase difference between the input clocks; and a counter unit which samples a level of the phase difference signal using a reference clock having a second frequency which is slower than the first frequency, and counts the number of levels of the phase difference signal using a first weighting according to the sampled level of the phase difference signal. When the count value of the counter unit transits in a predetermined range, the phase difference between the input clocks is detected according to the first weighting.

    Abstract: A ring oscillator for circulating pulse edges of two types therein includes an even number of inverting circuits connected in a ring. Each of the inverting circuits is operative to invert an input signal and output an inversion of the input signal. One of the inverting circuits is a first start inverting circuit which starts an operation of inverting an input signal in response to a first control signal applied from an external input. One of the inverting circuits except the first start inverting circuit and an inverting circuit immediately following the first start inverting circuit is a second start inverting circuit which starts an operation of inverting an input signal in response to a second control signal. A control signal inputting arrangement serves to input the second control signal to the second start inverting circuit during an interval from a first moment at which the first control signal is input into the first start inverting circuit and the first start inverting circuit starts the inverting operation to a second moment at which a pulse edge initially generated by the start of the inverting operation of the first start inverting circuit and travelling while being sequentially inverted by the inverting circuits enters the second start inverting circuit.

    Abstract: A phase difference measuring device includes a phase detector, a low-pass filter/voltage controlled oscillator, a reference signal selector for selecting either an internal reference signal or an external reference signal as a reference signal, a phase comparator for comparing an undertest signal with the selected reference signal and obtaining a phase difference between the two compared signal. The internal reference signal is selected when the undertest signal is a jittering signal, and the external reference signal is selected when the undertest signal is a wandering signal. The undertest signal, the selected reference signal, and a relatively high frequency clock signal from external are sent to the phase comparator and a phase difference between the undertest signal and the selected reference signal is counted by the relatively high frequency clock signal.

    Abstract: To determine the phase difference between the edge of a pulse of a first clock signal and the edge of a pulse of a second clock signal with an integrable phase meter circuit, the second clock signal is fed through a frequency-divider circuit to the input of an unclocked delay line including m delay elements, and to a second register containing m cells, while the m cells of a first register are clocked by the first clock signal. The outputs of the kth register cells are compared in the kth XOR gate of a row of m XOR gates, so that, when the levels of these outputs are unlike, a logic 1 appears at the output of the kth gate. The phase is obtained at the n-bit output of a multiple adder adding the logic levels, the accuracy corresponding to m, which is preferably equal to 2.sup.n.

    Abstract: A phase measuring arrangement for sampled signals changes the phase of the sampling signal in fine phase increments while comparing the magnitudes of the signal samples so produced to determine whether they have magnitudes within a given range of values. The range of values is indicative of a known phase angle. The number of magnitudes falling within the given range is indicative of the phase of the sampled signal relative to the known phase angle. Embodiments are disclosed in which such phase measuring arrangement is employed in a phase-locked loop useful for processing chrominance signals in a television receiver.

    Abstract: An electronic trigger circuit for an RF source, which electronic trigger may be advantageously used in a radar apparatus, for instance. The trigger employs digital logic devices including a register or counter, a circuit for initiating counting in the register in response to a received pretrigger signal and a circuit responsive to the occurrence of selected count in the register for enabling the RF source. A timing signal is generated, based upon the pretrigger signal in timed relationship to the time at which the RF source should nominally generate its RF signal. Typically, the RF source generates its RF signal at sometime after being enabled. A comparator circuit is provided for comparing the phase relationship of the aforementioned timing signal and the occurrence of the RF signal and is in turn coupled to an arithmetic circuit effective for altering the number of states through which the register counts. Preferably, the arithmetic circuit alters the number of states only when the comparison circuit indicates that the phase relationship differs by some preselected period of time. Thus, each time the RF source is fired, its output is compared with the time at which the output should nominally occur and when this difference exceeds a predetermined amount, the amount of delay between the time the pretrigger signal is received and the time the RF source is enabled is varied by changing the number of states through which the aforementioned register counts.

    Abstract: A digital phase detector includes a hard limiter which transforms an incoming signal of known frequency into a binary signal at the same frequency. A reference generator produces two binary references at the signal frequency, one reference shifted 90.degree. in phase with respect to the other. The binary signal is exclusive-ORed with each reference and the exclusive-OR outputs therefrom control two counters, the counters thereby registering counts analogous to trigonometric functions of the signal phase angle. A phase modulated clock drives the counters, the phase modulation feature permitting a correction factor to be incorporated in order to cancel the error introduced by the quantized nature of the digital computations involved.
