Double quadrature with adaptive phase shift for improved phase reference performance

A method for correcting a timing error in a test and measurement instrument. The method includes receiving a clock signal at each of four samplers. The first clock signal is sampled at the first sampler at a first phase, the second clock signal is sampled at the second sampler at a second phase that...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for correcting a timing error in a test and measurement instrument. The method includes receiving a clock signal at each of four samplers. The first clock signal is sampled at the first sampler at a first phase, the second clock signal is sampled at the second sampler at a second phase that is 90 degrees offset from the first phase, the third clock signal is sampled at the third sampler at a third phase that is 45 degrees offset from the first phase, and the fourth clock signal is sampled at the fourth sampler at a fourth phase that is 90 degrees offset from the third phase. Each of the outputs from the samplers are digitized and a timing correction is calculated based on the digitized outputs from the digitized outputs.
