[time-nuts] Measuring phase shift between 1 Hz DMTD signals by I+Q processing

2009-07-25 Thread Joe Gwinn
It occurs to me that there is a possible alternative to the ZCD-chain approach typical in DMTDs, if one is willing to provide two mixers and two ADCs per channel, with a 90 degree phase offset between LO signals provided to the mixers of a channel. The output of the four ADCs will be a pair
