<p>A method of estimating the loop phase error in a negative feedback amplifier is disclosed which comprises applying a test signal to the input of the amplifier, modulating the phase of the feedback signal to be summed to the test signal input to the amplifier, measuring the amplitude of the forward signal of the amplifier at two harmonics of the frequency of the phase modulation, and estimating the loop phase error on the basis of said two amplitude measurements. Apparatus for carrying out such a method is also disclosed.</p> |
