Abstract

An analysis of errors associated with the digital measurement of phase angle between two signals, one of which may be distorted by a harmonic, is presented. All the results were found by running a simulation program on a VAX 11/780 computer. The results are very useful for the users of the phase meters. This technique may introduce large errors for some particular types of input waves. The main purpose of this work is to explain how large the error could be under certain conditions on the input waves
