  2. Phase (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(waves)

    Conversely, a phase reversal or phase inversion implies a 180-degree phase shift. [ 2 ] When the phase difference φ ( t ) {\displaystyle \varphi (t)} is a quarter of turn (a right angle, +90° = π/2 or −90° = 270° = −π/2 = 3π/2 ), sinusoidal signals are sometimes said to be in quadrature , e.g., in-phase and quadrature components of a ...

  3. Phase-shift keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-shift_keying

    Alternatively, the phase shift of each symbol sent can be measured with respect to the phase of the previous symbol sent. Because the symbols are encoded in the difference in phase between successive samples, this is called differential phase-shift keying (DPSK). DPSK can be significantly simpler to implement than ordinary PSK, as it is a 'non ...

  4. Group delay and phase delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_delay_and_phase_delay

    The group delay and phase delay properties of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system are functions of frequency, giving the time from when a frequency component of a time varying physical quantity—for example a voltage signal—appears at the LTI system input, to the time when a copy of that same frequency component—perhaps of a different physical phenomenon—appears at the LTI system output.

  5. Phased array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array

    The phase shift process used with passive phased arrays typically puts the receive beam and transmit beam into diagonally opposite quadrants. The sign of the phase shift must be inverted after the transmit pulse is finished and before the receive period begins to place the receive beam into the same location as the transmit beam.

  6. Linear phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_phase

    In signal processing, linear phase is a property of a filter where the phase response of the filter is a linear function of frequency.The result is that all frequency components of the input signal are shifted in time (usually delayed) by the same constant amount (the slope of the linear function), which is referred to as the group delay.

  7. Leading and lagging current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_and_Lagging_Current

    Angle notation can easily describe leading and lagging current: . [1] In this equation, the value of theta is the important factor for leading and lagging current. As mentioned in the introduction above, leading or lagging current represents a time shift between the current and voltage sine curves, which is represented by the angle by which the curve is ahead or behind of where it would be ...

  8. Optical path length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_path_length

    An electromagnetic wave propagating along a path C has the phase shift over C as if it was propagating a path in a vacuum, length of which, is equal to the optical path length of C. Thus, if a wave is traveling through several different media, then the optical path length of each medium can be added to find the total optical path length. The ...

  9. Constellation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_diagram

    Each symbol is encoded as a different phase shift of the carrier sine wave: 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°. A constellation diagram is a representation of a signal modulated by a digital modulation scheme such as quadrature amplitude modulation or phase-shift keying. [1]
