A system for measuring a phase difference between two input signals, including a computer performing computations in the complex domain and operating on two complex signals indicative of the two input signals respectively to compute the phase difference. Alternately, the system for measuring the phase difference includes a computer operating on two input buses indicative of the two input signals respectively to generate a signal indicative of the phase difference, and wherein: A. each input bus includes at least two digital bits; B. the two input buses are indicative of the phase of each of the two input signals; C. the two input buses each has a different range of possible values and wherein the computer further includes a device for normalizing at least one of the buses so as to bring the two buses to the same range. A phase-lock loop includes the system for measuring the phase difference, a VCO and digital devices. |
