The phase relationships and a technique for diminishing measurement errors in multifrequency retransmitting systems

Abstract

New phase relationships are derived for miltifrequency retransmitting measurers dealing with continuous unmodulated signals at different carrier frequencies. Analysis of errors of the method is performed, and a technique of their reduction, with account for asymmetry of deviations of phase increments from the linear law, is investigated. The domains of maximum error values are determined, and their relationship to the level of the spurious side component of the spectrum within the range of unambiguous measurement is examined. A new function for error approximation in the domain of maximal values is suggested.
