A New principle of Linear Phase Discrimination - Irregular Phase Discrimination

Zhou Wei

Abstract:	The principle of irregular phase discrimination for getting the relative phase value consists of applying two signals which are of different frequencies to a linear phase discriminator. When the frequencies of these two signals are fa =A*C, fp=B*C, where C can be any frequency. A and B are positive integers without any common divisor. The equivalent frequency of the phase discrimination obtained in this way is f=A*B*C. The advantages of the principle of phase discrimination are: low demand on the performance of the equipment, high precision of the comparison and the flexibility in the frequency used for phase discrimination. The principle will generally be used in the design of frequency star cards, for frequency measurement and for general and special phase (Line interval) comparisons.
